Name of granite

10 years ago

Hi everyone!

I'm in the process of purchasing a townhouse that has the following granite countertops throughout (kitchen and three bathrooms). Does anyone know what this granite is called? I'm hoping to try to find pictures of homes with the same granite for inspiration.

I apologize for the bad lighting in the pictures, I'll try to take clearer ones when I'm next in the unit.

Thanks in advance!

I don't. Maybe find a website that has pics of granites done by color...one possibility is Juparana???

@kelleg69, do you have any recommendations for websites that has pictures by color? I've already looked at quite a few sites.

Lighting is off in the first pic. Second pic looks like Santa Cecilia granite. Try a Google search for Santa Cecilia and click on the images tab

You might also post the second pic in karin_mt's thread about countertop geology. She answers all kinds of questions. http://ths.gardenweb.com/discussions/2692150/countertop-geology-part-six-lets-talk-about-rocks-some-more?n=464

Not Santa Cecilia. It's certainly not a well known common one.

I'm not much use on the commercial names, so you're better off here than in the geology thread. But MSI does have a gallery that sorts stones by color, so that might help. https://www.msistone.com/countertops/
