They are probably pits which occur naturally in stone. Careful slab selection and fabrication may have been able to work around the pits. Call your fabricator and he can fill them in for you and I doubt they will be very apparent to an untrained eye once this process is applied.

Pits and fissures are a intergral part of owning natural stone countertops. Not all stone fabricators will epoxy fill them without additional cost to you, as these are considered perfectly normal. And, on a granite with a lot of depth and sparkle like Blue Pearl, epoxy filling the pits can look dull and unnatural and stand out. I wouldn't do it.

Sigh of deep relief! I don't know why I didn't see these at install. Is is possible that the sealer settled into the pits over the past few weeks? Would additional sealer help? Thanks for the quick replies---really helped us here.

I would doubt if Blue Pearl should be sealed at all. It is a pretty bullet proof stone. I wouldn't put any sealer or additional sealer on it unless a stone professional advises it.

That stone is pretty bullet proof ! LOL! If you look up labradorite or spectralite or syenite on google: do reading about it! It's amazing stone! (not a "true" scientific granite) I believe matter of opinion: stronger: maybe true. It's heavier! There are building all around the world faced with this!!!!!!
