I have no idea, ask the stone yard.

Oh gosh. All I'm going to say is that my White Lux was ruined during fabrication. The stone yard had no idea what happened to it, they said they had never seen a stone react the way that stone did while being cut. The distributor swore it was a quartzite and claimed that no other stone yard had a problem with it. Beware the White Lux. I'd suggest getting a sample if you can and testing it. We, unfortunately, learned the hard way and had to pick a completely different stone, which held up our project for about a month.

Sorry to hear of your problem, must have been a horrible experience. Such a pretty stone too. Were you able to recoup all your cost? Thanks for sharing your experience. What stone did you ultimately choose? Distributor is unwilling to allow testing aside from glass scratch test. No samples. KD tinks she might be able to get a sample. However, my hunt will likely continue...

Patricia Colewell Consulting - thanks for suggestion. Unfortunately, rep at stone yard did not have an answer. Have reached out to local fabricator bur haven't heard back yet.

The two big blobs look like lifting pod marks or contamination.

Joseph Corlett, LLC. Thanks. Luckily the blobs aren't huge, they appear so since the pic is very close up. Fabricator just responded saying it was normal and they would cut around. I'm still a bit leary.

megs1030- Very strange about your fabrication problem and is giving me pause. I hope you like Mykonos. Interesting my stone yard also has a stone by that name and I was considering too. The Mykonos at my stone yard is much darker though.

Love the Mykonos so much better than the White Lux. It also looked dark in the warehouse but once it sat outside at the fabricator, it is so much lighter.

Great that it turned out well in the end!

Great that you unpleasant experience took a 180! Thanks again for sharing!

The names of stone countertop materials can be so confusing. Depending on the stone yard/distributor the same product can go by different names. And then there is the stupidity of the industry calling the man made product “quartz”. In the end, it seems to me you have to trust your fabricator. Talk to them and get their recommendations. In my new house construction, my stone fabricator was the best sub we worked with, ahead of schedule and on budget. I know quartzite is very hard, second to diamond, so cutting it is challenging. But a great fabricator can do it as easy as granite. Quartzite is amazing. I wish I could have afforded it, had to go with granite. I hope things go well for you. It seems to be that when you live in your new space the little imperfections fade, you forget about the stress of redo/building, and just begin to love your new space.

Also John Corlett: you are a wealth of information. Thanks for all your posts

Rachann61 - Agree "quartz" not the best choice for product name. Thanks for your encouraging words!
