Black Galaxy Granite. Anyone Still Use it?
Comments (5)None of my business and this is not what you are asking and you probably love it so ignore my comment. Would you consider getting rid of that wall paper border above your cabinets? Your backsplash, flooring, counters, and DR paint colours are all colours of now - and everything flows really nicely. You've done a great job of keeping the Baltic Brown current (I thing it looks great in your space) and putting the Black Galaxy on the peninsula would be cool. I'm just wondering though , is that a black appliance by the peninsula? Would it clash? I can't tell what that is. The green above your cabinets is feeling really heavy. The green around the archway is better and maybe without the border it would be ok. It's just feeling an dlooking really 80"s. Sorry....See MoreVisible Seam in Black Galaxy Granite

Comments (7)As Weissman mentioned, if your Black Galaxy has a sealer on it, the sealer could be causing the problem. If sealed, the sealer is most likely just sitting on top of your counter b/c Black Galaxy is too dense for sealer to penetrate. This can lead to ghost etching, streaking, haze, etc. (And a bump in hope Kevin, StoneGirl, or other expert/pro might see this.)...See MoreBlue is the Night granite - anyone have it? vs. Black galaxy.
Comments (3)I use a remnant of it for a bathroom vanity (the store called it "Blue Polare". I loved it so much that when I wanted to renovate two other bathrooms, I searched at least 15 other granite companies. Only one had even a full slab to look at, but no remnants. Most of the salespeople said it was quite rare, thus so costly. If I had LOTS of money, I would definitely put it in my kitchen and other areas. I did find a remnant of Blue Volga for one bath....it has those beautiful irridescent blue-green pieces in it, much like Blue in the Night has the blue. I just think there is just no comparison between the appearance of Blue in the Night and black galaxy, IMHO...See Moreminette99
