Understanding the Characteristics of Granite Slab:

1. Color Variation - All granite slabs will vary in color from one slab to the next, and will also vary in color within the same slab. No two slabs of the same color will be exactly the same.
2. Veining - All natural stone/granite slabs will have veining within the slab. This is a normal characteristic of the stone and is not considered a defect.
3. Imperfections - Mineral spots are inherent of granite. These are small spots that can show slightly lighter or darker in that given area. “Fissures” are often mistaken for cracks in the stone. These are not cracks or defects, but rather a natural part of the stone.
4. Thickness - Granite can vary slightly in thickness within the same piece of stone.

All of the above stated items are normal conditions and characteristics of granite and natural stone.
