Pearl Green Leathered Granite




Not an easy thing to photograph but this is our granite! I love how it looks like soapstone but has the great feel that only a leathered granite has. When we made the decision to go with the spalted maple and cherry cabinets, we immediately limited our choices in the countertop world! We considered soapstone, which would look amazing and feels fantastic but I didn't feel that I wanted to deal with maintaining it. Limestone was also briefly considered but I just didn't feel comfortable with it's properties as a kitchen surface. Granite is so easy to live with but most of it is highly polished and multicolored and I really felt that our log kitchen needed a dull, plain counter finish. Mont Granite in Pittsburgh finally located this granite and brought in 4 slabs for us to see. It's a definite match with it's green coloring blending perfectly with the green cast that the spalted maple has. Rocktops/Jones Stone came in last Saturday to template and we will have our kitchen counters in about two weeks!
