I Agree 100% JuneKnow, I am only planning on building, installing, customizing my own cabinets. The stonework--whichever material we decide on--will be cut and installed professionally. I'm collecting information on the GeoLuxe material only. From what I have gleaned from the sparse information out there, is that the stone is hard to work with and requires a specialist... it seems most problems stem from incorrectly cutting or improper finishing.

I do not recommend Geo Luxe. I recently purchased 3 slabs of Palissandro polished for a client's kitchen remodel. You are right on it being hard to work with. The stone literally cracked in the middle as my fabricator was cutting it. He has been fabricating other similar porcelain and sintered stones. He followed the cutting sequence recommended by the factory. He went into the certification process, yet it still cracked. There was way too much precaution with this product prior to fabrication that I had a funny feeling in my gut whether to proceed. But my client loves the polished mirror look. I personally do not care for it. It looked fake and very synthetic. Some are successful with Geo Luxe. It could be a hit or miss. If you are willing to take the risk that the stone will not crack during fabrication, transport or installation, it may work out. But if it does crack, it is not worth the headache and the delay.
