Hard to say but it looks like it could be Fantasy Brown.

If it's fantasy brown, make sure you know it's dolomite.

very pretty

Fantasy Brown marble.

It looks a bit like Giallo Sabia granite to me. Here’s a pic of a slabwe installed in 2009.

I read the article. I don't want to have problems with Dolomite.

The counter material that we had at the beach looked like it had some white mica in it. I will be disappointed if it is Fantasy Brown. My cousin has Fantasy Brown in her kitchen and I don't think hers looks like my photos. I could be wrong, though. My cousin said that she picked out her slab to have more tans and golds. Less gray. The builder used another source to get the material. She didn't find out about it until the tops were installed and she noticed they were much more gray.

Here are hers.

Here's a link to a long thread about fantasy brown, with lots of pictures and testimonials.

IIRC, ravencajun's beautiful new fantasy brown kitchen was destroyed in a second flood.

I put Fantasy Brown (sold as Quartzite) in my kitchen 5 1/2 years ago. I tested the large sample thoroughly for days before I committed to buying it. To this day, there isn't a scratch or any damaged spot on it anywhere, and I love it as much as the day it was installed.

My slab at the stone center

I guess I will have to look at slabs to decide if I like it.

My3dogs - Your slab looks really gray. Could I see a photo of what it looks like in your kitchen?

It's Fantasy Brown or Fantasy Blue, but it's "leathered". Saw it at Arizona Tile and I loved it but chose something else.

If you are speaking about the original photos that I posted from a beach house, the surface is definitely not leathered. The surface had a shiny smooth finish like I prefer.

It's a dull dark day here in Maine, but here are some pics. Mine is leathered. Even in these pics the green looks gray, but trust me, it's a soft green.

It could be Terra Bianca quartzite

This is the Terra Bianca, also called Fantasy Brown that was installed at my house today. I have looked at approx. 60 slabs over the last couple months and I believe that is what is pictured. it can be darker with more brown or more gray ,white with blues or greens. they are all so different. Also, It is a Hard Marble. Harder than most with quartzite and granite properties. At least that is my understanding. I am on the site today to try and find backsplash ideas.

There's no such thing as hard marble. All marble is way softer than quartzite or granite. Fantasy Brown is marble and is soft. That said, it's definitely lovely and if you're okay with marble, then it's a great choice.

Karin, Are you saying that all marble is created equal with reguard to their mineral makeup? Do you not believe that some marble may be denser and less porous than another?

jill, post an updated picture of your kitchen if you want some backsplash advice.

jiil Bean - Thank you. I would also like to see updated photos and close-ups of your "marble".

I don't have lighting yet so it is hard to get good photos. The counter is much nicer in person. Terra Bianca Leather.

Very pretty, although I think it's still too gray for my needs. Obviously, the granite in my original post has more blue and tan.

@jil Bean: your counters are stunning! Your kitchen is beautiful. Ditto @My3dogs ME zone 5A: gorgeous counters!

nice kitchen jill. whatever tile you do choose, I would take it all the way up around the window. it will look beautiful done like that.

your counters are more on the grayish side, so any gray, taupe, white, even a grayish blue color will work.

what do you think about Zellige tiles?

Or, look at Cloe tile

Winchester glazed tiles. many colors

jllbean another poster on houzz just finished her kitchen w/Fan. Brown countertops. she used this stile

Wow Beth, these are beautiful. i never thought about taking them all of the way up. thank you!
