I don't know what the faux Patagonia quartz countertop looks like - however, I would definitely purchase real Patagonia slabs.

I have no idea what either looks like, and most others probably don't either. If you want advice, you need to post pics of your choices.

Natural Patagonia Quartzite is unbeatable for unique visual depth, dramatic character, and high heat tolerance—especially if you plan to backlight it. Engineered Patagonia Quartz is easier to maintain long-term since it’s non-porous and never requires sealing, though it can look slightly less dimensional up close.
