15 years agoWe don't have that, but when we looked at slabs last year the granite warehouse we went to had something that sounded similar called "ice pearl". I was in tourist mode so took a picture even though it wasn't a color we were considering. It was very pretty. The blue stones were very intense at certain angles
However, I don't think that name is very common either

Comments (13)Hello, Am familiar with the Labrador granite but not the blackstone one. I currently have from Formica, the Perlato Granite (etchings/shiny) in my kitchen & even after 4 yrs of wear & tear, it looks fantastic. The etchings in it make it look more authentic than a strickly polished surface. I would never hesitate to recommend this one to anyone. At the same time, we also have the Jamocha granite over a darker cab in our ensuite. Again, it is shinier than the matte & has the etchings. Formica was what we could afford at the time & we chose wisely (in our opinion). With a fancy edge, we have had many people comment on our granite only to be in disbelief that the actual product is laminate. We will consider another Formica option when we move into our new home end of July. Javgat :-)...See Moredoes anyone have white frosted glass subway tile for a backsplash
Comments (3)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.

Comments (11)I completely understand. I think I could've written your post. I may have not too long ago. I also had 8 years of dreams of having Blue Pearl granite with my natural cherry cabinets and it was just about a done deal...until this past summer when we got serious about our remodel and I first crossed paths with Labradorite Blue Australe and Galactic Blue (sister of Blue volga only harder to get) granite. .They were amazing and I was hooked on them. They were like granite crack. Then I learned that the price of the Blue Australe in the granite world was like the price of a Masarati in the car world. Not just any Masarati, but a 2013 one of a kind convertible with hand sewn leather seats...well the Galactic Blue was a bargain compared to that. Well, almost but it was a dark Labradorite blackish high shine granite too. Also, then it seemed to me the granite yard was practically giving the Blue Pearl. LOL, after countless trips to the granite yard...over an 1 hour + in each direction, reality hit me. I don't live in the Labradorite Blue Australe kitchen cabinet counter world> I live in a "modest" cape cod home in my life and while I loved it, I walked away from it just like I walked away from the blue Maserati convertible I saw a couple of years ago while walking down the Champs-�lys�es in Paris a couple of years ago when we went for our anniversary. Not necessarily happy, but glad to have had it cross my path! Really, I live the world of messy countertops and kids that don't have the ability to appreciate the piece of art I was planning on draping in my kitchen. I ended up having dark green Costa esmeralda put in the kitchen and even though my kitchen is not done yet, I can bear the maintenance...and the owner of the granite yard made me super happy and had an unbelievable faultless remnant of super rareLabradorite Blue Australe that he was willing to part with so that I could put it in the half bath downstairs adajacent to the living area. I am beyond happy. The fabricator came over two nights ago to check on the granite and dropped off my sink cut out from the half bath that they finished off and gifted to me. I've put it on a metal round platform that I'd been using as nightstand for years. Cathy725, the level is $$$$$$$ and both are high maintenance granites. By that I mean, lots of work to make them shine all the time. But when they shine, they are really beautiful. My granite yard just got some slabs of BIG FlowerLabradorite Blue Australe in...it's $165 a square yard plus fabricator costs..I posted pictures in my other posts on here... This was my journey...

This is the only picture that I could find for Hawaiian Bordeaux:
Cracks: could be "made" up due to the fact: they sold the slab to someone else: or Bordeaux have issues sometimes with lots of through veins: they have a mesh on the back of most all bordeaux to hold the slab together. Delicate granite: beautiful! My 2nd favorite type of granite: red bordeaux of any king: lots of red! Exotic granite: expensive and delicate. Beautiful!petra_granite
