looks like it could be something like recycled glass from Geos Solid Surface (eos surfaces) ... white birch has creamy white background with bits of green glas in it or perhaps something from Cosentino or Vetrazzo?

What kind of backsplash would look nice with a granite called itaunas white (its very plain) with espresso brown shaker cabs...

Backsplash edge - When you have to cut the tile to make them even like on the above picture on the left side where you lined them up with the countertop, wouldn't the tiles be rally sharp? How would you finish edge like this? I've seen them finished with single little tiles placed vertically on edges but I don't really like the look. Is there a different way to go about it?

I know I'm really late here, but you can also consider using a shluter (sp?) strip. See attached and pardon the recent paint job!

Yes, Schluter finishing and edge-protection profiles are a great option. Especially, when coordinating bullnose is unavailable.

I think I have identified the tile: AKDO Stagger Smoke.

DId you use star quartz grout with this glass tile backsplash? If not, what? - I want to create this look, and someone told me to use that, but it is the first photo I found that displays the look I want.

You can use Starquartz or Dimension grout with glass in a backsplash - at least you can use it with the glass we manufacture here in California and I would check with the glass manufacturer to make sure you can use it (as it may scratch their glass because the grout has tiny, tiny pieces of glass in it to give the grout the reflective quality). The tiles in your photo may be from AKDO (see image) - it's a beautiful glass tile which is a mix of both matte and glossy tile - I think it's the Parchment color.

Though it's more expensive than conventional sanded/non-sanded grout, we've used the Starquartz and Dimension grout (each from different companies) with equal success. A highlight with these new urethane grouts is that they're non-stainable and anti-microbial. And both the Starquartz and Dimension grouts are part of a grout line which includes grout without the glass bits in it. For example, Bostik's urethane grout is called TruColor Grout...it too, is non-stainable and anti-microbial. No more sealing grout! :)

Can you tell me the color of the Starquartz grout you used with the Akdo Parchment stagger glass tile. I love the dimensionality of it.
