Thanks for the question! Unfortunately this project was completed a
while ago and we don't have a record of the granite name. Based on a bit
of research, the closest color I have found is "Lavender Blue" (don't
let the name fool you -- it's often closer to gray). Other suggestions
have included Metallica, Cosumus, and Saturnia. Hope this helps! -Emily

It looks like Zebra granite from Kenya

how did you keep the grain of the granite flowing in the corner? Did it change direction, so runs horizontal from corner one way and vertical the other?

Thanks for the question! Unfortunately since this project is from a few years ago, we do not have the granite countertop shop drawings anymore, so we can't say exactly. To answer your question though, most countertops will end up having a seam in the corner due to slab size limitations. The grain of the countertop likely changes direction at a seam near the sink, and the pattern probably does not line up exactly. If they were trying very hard to make the grain line up, they may have tried to cut the granite diagonally a bit so the grain is flowing on an angle on all pieces of the countertop.
