What are my counters?!

5 years ago

Hi all! We just moved into our house and the previous owner wasn’t positive what the counters are! Does anyone know what type these are and the name of the color by any chance? She thought granite at first but then said maybe marble. Afraid to use the wrong cleaner on them!

Thanks!!

Pull back and take a picture from a distance of at least 3’. Take a pic of the underside of the counter too. And the edge.

Yay!! Thanks guys! I actually loved Taj Majah when I looked at stone 10 years ago - totally didn’t realize it was that! Now I have to make sure my cleaner doesn’t destroy it! I usually use HOCl to clean!
