They are so similar...I wouldn't even think about it...go for the cheaper one...beautiful stone!

I like the first one better but I would have to do a lot of thinking before I spent $1200 more for it (if that is the more expensive one).

Something about #1 caught my eye. Both beautiful though.

Remember also that once the slabs are flat (assuming you're using them as counters), the difference will be negligible. They are both beautiful!

This is the same granite I have. My knee jerk response was for the first one but, like others have pointed out, I think either would look great!

Do you have the template yet? The rounded vein on the lower left and the big splotch on the upper right may be distracting depending on how you cut it.

I actually like #2 more! That circle on the top right is adorable.. :D

I am with Amber - I like #2 much more! I like that it has more of the "powdered sugar" that this granite is known for. I like that it has splotches of white. At least for me, it's a no-brainer--#2!

If you choose #2, make sure in the templating to capture the white splotches.

BirchPoint....How do you like your honed jet mist granite? Any advice? (Those are pictures of honed...right?) :)

I think both of the stones are beautiful and would love either in my home!

I liked #2 better also. I like the swirls and I can see them better in #2. But as others have said they are both lovely!

Weezel, I love my countertop. My house is on the coast in Maine and the countertop looks like a slab of granite from the beach below! My first loves were marble and soapstone, but I felt I needed something more bulletproof than those choices AND the Jet Mist was very budget friendly. No regrets.

FourHappy - which of the 2 slabs did you end up getting?
