HNT-53

I call this one, Naked Counter top...

I haven't talked about the house rehab in a while. It is coming along and it should be only a matter of weeks before we are finally out of this rental and back in our new old house. At this point we are concentrating on the finishes.

I had decided that I wanted soapstone for my counter top in the kitchen... I got talked out of it by the builder who insisted that I would be very unhappy. So I went to the warehouse to pick out slabs of granite. Many of the slabs had nice regular patterns.. things that would be consistent from location to location in the kitchen. A smart move I suppose.

But now that I am dealing with granite, I decided that I needed something that screamed METAMORPHISM!!!!

This is what I selected... it is Brazilian and called Golden Glow. I love the mica and quartz... now I just have to figure out what the yellow mineral is... sulfur? Cadmium? Copper? Chromium? I guess I will just have to let my geeky mind wander...
