msi has representation of older stones i think. i say this because their pics didn't match the actual stones i have seen. also i was at a granite yard this weekend and they had 2 typhoon bordeaux slabs, the older one was much darker than the newer one. new golden beach could be what they are calling the slabs coming out of the ground now also astoria doesn't have garnets splotches in real life (at least the slabs i have seen) and it more bland in color variation

yipeee!!!! we got this remnant quite by accident. we went to granite company that sells off its remnants. we told the fabricator what we were looking for in colour and he said he though he had something we might like. we loved it and when we asked the price he said that piece was unmarked with a name so he would give the salesman another name of a cheaper granite so we would get a deal. i thought maybe he was b'sing but t looks like he came through. yay. so happy to find out it's volga blue and virtually bulletproof. it's in the kids bath, 18 and 21 and still quite messy. great to know i don't have to worry to much.

> Oh look! A TRUE granite! I was about to say the same thing. That stone reminds me of all the granite domes up at Yosemite, though the High Sierra granite may even be a tiny bit whiter. Nice counter! Laura

Out of the granites shown with this photo on the Home Depot website, it looks most like 'Tan Brown'. I've linked it below. I wonder if your local HD may know. It wouldn't surprise me if customers came in wanting the granite they see in the photo. Here is a link that might be useful: Your pic on Home Depot site
