I cut 1" glass mosaic for my shower, with just a regular wet saw/diamond blade for ceramic tile. If you're doing larger tiles, they have special wet saw blades for glass tile, but I've heard mixed things - some people tell me I can use a regular ceramic diamond blade for 3x6" glass tiles; others say I need a glass tile blade.

Totally worth the long wait!!!!! I am in love with marble in any application but I think in your kitchen, I'd stand there all day and stare at that glass tile like it was a TV screen. Fabulous!

I don't have CE, but our granite is also a dark stone(Labrador Golden Flake), so you might be able to get an idea from a pic of my kitchen. Our backsplash is a mosaic from Artistic Tiles--a mix of glossy and matte (frosted) glass strips in varying lengths and widths. The tile itself is clear, but is "painted" white on the backs. Because it is not Starfire/Starphire (aka low-iron) glass, it reads slightly blue-green in different lighting, at different times of day. In thses pics it just happens to look pretty white. Here are some pics for you:

jjnv: we did not seal the tiles before applying them to the wall. If I am recalling correctly the salesperson at the tile store said not to seal the tiles. That it might make them cloudy looking. I don't remember what the instructions said that came with the tiles. I had one sheet of tiles left over and just checked to see if the stone tiles changed color. They look the same as the ones on the wall. I don't know what kind of stone is in my mosaic blend but it all appears to be the same type. The individual stone tiles do have some color variation within them. Also the majority of my mosaic blend is different types/colors of glass. If your mix is more stone than glass and the directions say to seal it first then that's probably what you should do. The sales person also said we needed to use unsanded grout so the glass and stainless tile would not get scratched. We purchased the grout from the tile store it is Polyblend Unsanded. It is also available at some of the big box stores in stock colors or it can be ordered in other colors on line. I just read some things about it on a tile forum and some of the tile experts prefer other brands of unsanded polymer fortified grout. I also just looked at the instructions on my left over grout box and it says to seal the grout with Surface Guard Penetrating Sealer. Oop, I didn't follow directions! Oh well the grout is doing fine without it so I am not going to seal it now. I think if I had a light colored grout I would probably seal the grout lines. If you are doing your own tiling and grouting yourself you might want to go online to the the John Bridge tile forum. It has lots of great advice and you could join the forum to ask any questions you might have
