It's called Snowflakes. For a sec I thought it was Super White/White Fantasy marble. Up close there are tiny specks of very dark garnet, but the one end had NONE!! it's the closest true granite that resembles marble (at least to me).

A few others though not as nice:

2n choice: Andromeda, 3rd Choice: Thunder White,

These are also "white": Mystic White, New River White, River White, White Tango, Aspen White, Colonial White, Andino White but don't have the movement/veining that I was looking for.

Hope it helps others! :D

I see quite a few stained light granites. Make sure to keep it sealed, wipe up everything immediately, and don't even think of getting hot oil spatter anywhere near this stuff. Hot oil dissolves sealer.

That is really very pretty! Have you done all of the tests on it, yet?

Where did you find those?

They are gorgeous and I'd like to learn the "test results" of the first one, Snowflakes, once completed.

The "Thunder White" reminds me of the Python White that I posted about recently.

sorry , I forgot to answer. All are ok only thing might be oil spots show but that was on unsealed stone. But that sure as hell beats staining, etching or scratching you get with marble.

All of these were in stone yards in NJ. Snowflakes was from PMI Granite.

All gorgeous! Could be my jealousy talking, but a recent thread about oil staining at fabricated edges on white quartzite was upsetting. I'd still use it if I could, but I'd not put it by my range nor have seams. http://ths.gardenweb.com/discussions/2692150/countertop-geology-part-six-lets-talk-about-rocks-some-more?n=361
