Looking for Taj Mahal quartzite remnant in Houston
Comments (11)I’m also searching for a piece. I did find a place called Houstongranitereminantscom, or something alone those lines. They have a lot of pieces. Maybe one would work for you. I’m in need of a 50x42. Nothing really fit the bill on the site for me. We did use this piece for our kitchen counters and love it!...See MoreNew Countertops Quartzite Taj Mahal With Blotches and Scratches

Comments (16)Hi Chispa. That’s what I’m gonna do, test the slab and finalize my choices hopefully next week. Countertop is my last big decision, and I just want this kitchen done. I wish that this White Pearl “granite” slab is indeed a whiter version of Taj Mahal quartzite and not some dolomite or marble or “soft quartzite. “ I don’t even know how I can do the etch test as the salesman said he doesn’t have any small piece for me to take home.

I can't see any filled areas in the TM on my fireplace. I have seen some stones with fillers, but did not see TM with any. I'll be seeing my 3 TM slabs for my kitchen soon when we template for the counters and I'll be sure to check them again and ask my fabricator what he has seen out there. I bought all my slabs at a well regarded Los Angeles stone yard that does a large volume and carries high quality materials. I visited around 12 stone yards in the LA area and now only go to 2 of them, which had the best quality and variety....See MoreShelley Graham
