Is this granite or marble? What is the exact name of the stone?

I am very interested in this for my kitchen. Looks like off-white background and butterscotch swirls. I cannot do gray. Please describe what stone it is and colors.

    This is Calacatta Gold Marble, it has off-white/cream background with gold and gray veins, If you like brown/Butterscoth/Caramel veins, Imperial Danby should interest you. Email me for pics and details - sam@rugostone.com

    Thanks so much for your email. I am in love with the look of marble. Can I find the same look and colors in granite? I've walked through many granite warehouses and cannot even come close. Help!

    There is a couple of natural Quartzites (White Macauba and White Princess) that have veins/patterns similar to marble, but in general, Marble looks are not matched by any other natural/engineered materials. Marble is the trend for several years now and there are amazing colors and varieties of marble. If you are in VA, MD, DC area, i maybe able to recommend some places and materials to look for.

    Thanks again for the email. I am located in Southwest Virginia, Smith Mountain Lake, near Roanoke. I would love your recommendations of places and materials. We don't mind traveling up to about 3 hours.

    Please email me, I'll send you a couple of pics and if you like those, i will ask the distributors if they have the material available for you to see. sam@rugostone.com

    Supreme White Granite may have a similar look if you find the right slab

    The marble looks amazing, I have a similar piece on my Buffet Server. Which as custom made to house my chairs and table leafs. All I hear is how delicate marble may be for a kitchen counter top. I really want to use marble for my kitchen counters should I?
