Blingy Granite

17 years ago

I have been looking at the Cafe Imperial granite for a couple of weeks now. It has a really pretty bling to it (for lack of a better word). In fact, that's what I like about it. So, I'm wondering what other granites I might should consider for the sparkly, glittery, bling effect?

I saw Emerald Pearl at lowes -- ooh was it pretty!! Also, I've noticed the sparkle in Black Galaxy.

Any other suggestions?

    My Delicatus Gold has lots of sparkle in certain lights from different angles.

    Blue Pearl has a lot of glitter. And if blue is not your thing, I've seen a lot of slabs that are really sort of gray.

    Hi jnjmom
    without trying to sound to big headed,you could check out the pics of our granite.we were the same way as you we wanted bling and this stone is about as blingy as it gets.
    look for the thread title of granite teaser,i think we are on the same page so chek it out and let us know what you pick.

    If you like the Cafe Imperial, you should take a look at Maron Cohiba. I don't have many pics, as my remodel is still going on, but it is really incredible. Deep brown, almost reads black, but has areas of gold flakes scattered throughout. Some are more coppery, some iridescent & striated like a butterfly wing. As you walk around it, different light angles reveal sparkle & depth everywhere. I really love the elegant, understated look. Can't say enough good about my fabricators, Team Marble in Salt Lake. The island is really big, and had to have a seam. As you can see, it's visible at the right angle, but as you can also see by the reflection of my draft tower, the seam is perfectly level and smooth.

    Here is a link that might be useful:

    Labrador antique, has navy blue "bling"....it also grease spots! Are you thinking about how a stone will wear in your kitchen?

    One we loved but slightly out of our price for who was offering it was Star Beach. Good contrast of browns, tans, and golds with little gold flecks all through.

    Blingy?? You want blingy?? Black Galaxy is the answer. I have it in my kitchen and everyone who visits goes "WOW". In fact even after having it 2 years, I still go "WOW" when I walk in the room! Good luck with your decision!

    How about Van Gogh. Though it looks more like Monet, to me

    Good luck.

    You might like Blue Pearl, also.
