Hey, thanks granite girl & buehl ~ I will go check out that thread now ~ granite girl ~ just the info I was looking for ~ you said "we go as much as 10" unsupported sometimes" ~ hmmm, I haven't gone to read the thread buehl linked for me yet, but I guess I thought maybe with corian you could go 12" out before needing support ~ we are talking "projection" size & not length, yes? ~ thanks again ~

When I read the title of your post, I immediately thought of that photo, which I love. While I don't know what the countertop material is, I can tell you that the photo is featured on the Rohl web site. Maybe someone else knows what the material is, but if not, perhaps you can contact Rohl to see if they would be helpful? Let us know if you find out. Here's a link to the Rohl web site.

Were you in my area, I'd figure out how much a replacement piece would cost and charge you half with a $1,000.00 minimum. If I didn't get the mark removed and the finish matched to your satisfaction, no charge. Everybody wins. The good news is it looks like a resin burn only. It doesn't appear any of the quartz crystals have "popped" (turned white). Those can be drilled and filled, but make the repair trickier. Getting the burn out is the easy part. Getting the finish to match after the burn is gone is tough. Not at all a DIY or handyman project. This ain't granite or solid surface. Expect anyone who touches it to get you to acknowledge in writing that the top is ruined and that they can only make it better. You may want to settle for a less-than-perfect repair, especially if color/particulate match material is not available. You may have a discontinued estone; that may mean replacing all the tops to get perfection.
