Certainly no expert, but I love a good treasure hunt! Any chance it is Costa Esmerelda? I hit Google images and checked it out. Good luck!

Hi Sum5463:

You are indeed an Expert. That is the CLOSEST thing to my countertop than anything others have told me. I called out a refinisher and he insisted my countertop is made from Laminate. Which is definitely not true. Now I know which sealer I need to buy for this granite. Thank you thank you so much..you're a pro :)

Look under the counter on the edge, what do you see?

Wait! There's something very wrong here.

You had a professional refinisher look at it up close and personal and tell you that it is a laminate. Then you are more than ready to accept that someone who isn't within a thousand miles of that thing and who is looking at a tiny picture says it's granite.

This makes no sense.

The under counter porcelain sink and the stains would indicate the top is stone not laminate. I'm not aware of stone sealers that differ by the colour of the stone, just that lighter colours require more coats.

Hi cold_weather_is_evi:

I did not say he's a Professional. He was just a refinisher. Besides I have seen too many people who claim they are professional and yet do bad jobs. I know what a Formica looks like, my old house was Full of the Wilsonart Formica Laminate. Thanks for your input anyways.

Hi Worthy:

Thanks for noticing the sink. I forgot to mention, it's an undermount sink made by Rohl Shaw. It's a fireclay farmhouse apron front sink. I tried to look on the sides and under the countertop, but I did not find any marking at all.

Dutseal, if you set a plate or glass down on the counter, does it sound like you are hitting stone -- like it will break if you set it too hard? or does it have a more muffled sound, like you are hitting plastic?

It looks like stone in the picture, judging by how the patterns continue on the edge. But I suppose solid surface could look like that too.

Does the area with the stain feel rough, like etched?

Can you take a picture of the underside? It will reveal a lot if we can see it.

Hi Raee:

It definitely sounds like stone. Very hard and like concrete. It will sound like glass breaking if I ever drop something on it.
Also there is some "etching" and filming on the surface, due to me spilling some vinegar unintentionally.

Thanks

Hi Texas_Gem:

Here are some pics from the under of the counter. There is this wooden board that is set under the counter that prevents me from seeing anything. It's pretty boarded up. I don't know for what.

Here is the link. And I just noticed some paint splats that I have never seen before.
