That's not an issue. It's a bonus.

Heat, pressure....

It looks as if a chunk of something with slightly different mineral content fell into the strata, and spent hundreds of thousands of years waiting just for you. ;)

Thanks

What has caused it being there is you didn't do a final layout approval.

I would have kept it right there. It is one of those things that makes the granite look real!

OOOh nice! That's a feldspar crystal. Feldspar naturally forms in square and rectangle shapes. Your slab is what's called a "pegmatite" in geologic terms.

The middle part of this article talks about pegmatites, how they form, and why they are awesome. :)

I would have picked that slab because of that piece....its all a matter of taste. Its so pretty!

Au natural....and beautiful!
