What a bummer! Ugh! I think since it’s the island it should be fine. Crystallo is actually a little “fancier” but similar so it an definitely be a showcase island. I’d take a piece of the broken stone to the yard and compare, since every slab is so different. Just make sure it is the right color tone.

I think that it’s their responsibility to make this right. You planned and paid for the same material. They should replace all of it with new material so that it all matches.

Carolyn K-

Are you saying the company should replace all the counter tops with a separate material?

That's an interesting thought.

I think that might be a tough sell.

Although this is definitely a "teaching moment" for the rest of Houzz.

Maybe it should be in contracts that all counter tops must be from the slabs initally selected by homeowner, and any breakage by installer, fabricator, etc must require all new slab selection by homeowner with slab cost (same type of stone) cutting, delivery, installation, and associated repair of counters, walls, etc at the expense of the installer, fabricator, etc.

I would ask the fabricator to find supplies of the Taj Mahal. Take a look at them to get the closest match. Since it is not butting up to another piece, I don't see why it wouldn't work. Or get one in a different color such as gray.

If you can't match the slab, then go for something completely different as a few people have said. I think that would really look great.

Update...

Thank-you everyone for your comments. I really appreciate you taking the time to help me out :)

I went yesterday to look at slabs of the Taj Mahal and found this beauty. I hope it will be a success. I brought a broken peice of the original TM to the granite yard with me. Here are the results.... How did I do?

Beautiful slabs, good choice
