We have a new kitchen and I will post pictures when I figure out how. The granite is venetian gold, which I love, and which hides all dirt. That was the problem, when a drop of a fish glaze containing lemon juice was left on the counter overnight. It left a small scar in the granite! It almost looks like a small nick - again not noticeable because of the granite. Is venetian gold a fragile granite? I had tested a sample with mayonnaise, red wine, and mustard before we bought it and it came through fine.
