We have a white persa (not Persia) island that looks similar.

Michelle — it might be! I may have heard Persian instead of Persa. What kind of cabinets do you have it on? Any issues with stone? Pictures? :)

Our island is an ebony-stained maple. It's paired with white perimeter cabinets that have black galaxy counters.

No pics of the finished room because I refuse to let Houzz scrape them, but I did add one of the raw slab below. If you visit HomeCorr's Instagram you can scroll down and see the finished product (look for stainless fridge, wood floor photo).

The issues I would advise on is that the grains are definitely not as tight as some granites - there are some small pits and there is some epoxy fill. You don't notice it visually, but wiping the counter you do feel an occasional snag. We haven't had any staining issues, but we are also careful.

Looks alot like Kashmir White.

I would agree that it looks like Persa White granite.

Definitely not Kashmir white.

Well, it's pretty, whatever it is! :)

You want to stain-test that stone before purchase, believe me.

^^^on point comment from Joseph Corlett. Some granites in that colorway that you show can be very absorptive - meaning stain-prone. Others aren’t and are great.

I guess I don't understand. Why would this particular granite be prone to staining? I've had granite for 15 years that does not even absorb sealer -- no stains. There is not much info on the web about "persa white" so please educate me!

You are right - some granites never stain or need sealer ever. I have one of those myself. The granite you’ve had for 15 years - what does it look like? But there are thousands of granites, and not all behave the same. Some of the lighter granites can be more stain-prone though not necessarily - Alaska White is a granite with a lot of white but is dense, non-absorptive and not stain-prone at all. So there is not a hard and fast rule. Just that there is a higher probability for lighter granites to be absorptive and stain-prone. A notorious one is Kashmir White which behaves more like marble. I’ll post a pic of Kashmir White granite. Clearly your slab is not Kashmir White, and since yours is darker, it is less likely to be stain-prone. But yours is still light enough to ask the question whether it is.

Every granite is different in terms of porosity, which is why you need to test the specific slab (and in the case of something as varied as persa white, if it's going in a high-use area test different sections/colors/grains of the slab if possible). We really did a test number on some supposed quartzite with wine, mustard, blueberry, and harissa. It passed every test but the harissa, which soaked in about 1/4 inch into the slab. So if you really want to test a slab, try some oil-based chile-containing condiment!

The black galaxy we have is impervious to pretty much everything, so it is in the major work areas. We knew the white persa island would be more of a "show" than a "go", so we are careful to use coasters, cutting boards, wiping everything up immediately, etc. We have had no staining (even a few drips of red wine left overnight), but we have not stressed it. We're thrilled with it as it really is gorgeous and fits the color scheme in the home perfectly. It is also "busy" enough that if we were to have a stain, it wouldn't be as noticeable as something that was more uniform or consistent.

This is our granite at home. Don't remember the name but I do remember that the yard gave it some unusual name that no one ever heard of. It is bullet proof. No sealer, hot pans, lemons, nothing harms it. The only damage is a couple of chips on the edges, but I have miles of granite so that is still pretty good.

I didn't honestly consider the persa white to be a "light" granite. Must not be common or popular because I can't find any feedback (other than Michelle) on it.

That current granite looks like baltic brown, and yes, it tends to be bullet proof.

Granite places love to give things different names - makes it harder to compare between fabricators and yards and also makes it harder for you to do research.
