Help! Kalahari quartzite installed

2 years ago

I purchased these slabs today and would love to see it in a kitchen. The supplier calls it Kalahari Blue but nothing pops up with that name. Any insight?

It’s beautiful. I was able to find this online, but there are not a lot of images out there.

Have you tested it for porosity and to see if it's really quartzite?

Take a Bernz-O-Matic to your stain please. As long as you don't go crazy you won't hurt anything, but your stain may disappear if it's water. If it's silicone bleed, you're getting a sink with a larger footprint and a non-silicone gasket.
