Silestone pitting

We just had Silestone coffee brown installed. The surface is covered with small pits where the crystals (glass, quartz?) have fractured and flecked out. It turns out that the same color, "Coffee Brown" is offered in 3 different "lines" of Silestone. One of these lines is promoted as "green" and has a high percentage of recycled glass in it. I am still trying to find out what we have installed, since we were never told about the different lines all going by the same name. The Silestone customer service rep told me that some lines are a minimum of 30% recycled glass, but they are still 93% quartz. Go figure! Buyer beware with Silestone.
