The dark grey countertop is a Basalt finish from Neolith. This is an extremely durable finish that works well indoors and outdoors. It comes in various slab sizes. My slab is 1/2" thick. The second marble material is Calacatta Borgogna which is a polished marble this is beautiful but not durable. You would be better off using the Neolith version of this marble which is a very close match in look, even though it is not a real marble.

..that should read Calacatta Borghini, not Borgogna.
