On June 2 2016 Canuck Designs an authorized company for Vicostone installed three slabs of Quartz tops Vicostone BQ100 on top of my existing cabinets of 24 years with a 15 year Vicostone warranty. On December 19 2020. I noticed a hair line crack that started in the middle of the countertop. I contacted Vicostone Calgary and told them the problem. They told me they would send a representative to look at the Hairline Crack. On January 13 2021. The company rep showed up. After serval days the company said, nothing would be done since my cabinets shifted and caused the problem. He also said my Installer should have told me to reinforce the cabinets. On a closer look, the crack happen above the lazy Suzie. That area has a solid top and attached with a support pole in the middle. It is the most’d supported area of the entire cabinets. I went one step further and talked to another authorized dealer for Vicostone. It looks like an issue with the stone itself says the authorized dealer. I also had a conversation with another authorized Dealer for Vicostone (They said, if there was a shift in the cabinets, the crack would start on the weakest point, in my case the ninety degree corner edge or the outside wall edge. I told them that the crack started in the middle of the slab and over a period of a month, it worked its way to the inside corner. (I have pictures before it moved to the corner) I was told more than once, if the weakest point was the middle of the slab, then it is an issue with the stone itself) I had a meeting with the company owner. As I tried to present the evidence. He ask me for my bill of sale from him. I said I handed the proof of purchase from Canack Designs to your rep. I don’t have a bill of sale from him since I bought from Canuck Designs, Canuck Designs bought from Vicostone.Canuck designs do not exist since the owner retired. I have pictures with a level, Cabinets have not shifted and perfectly level. Vicostone will not honor any warranty (Buyer Beware)

Happy to hear I could help you with your sink choice, Ott2. I contacted Blanco USA in NJ and they mailed me the chips. You can go on their website and request the silgranite via a form they have, but after a week when I had not received the samples I called them. They explained that they will not respond to your email unless you make a request for them to do so. The next day, my samples arrived. The Metallic Gray and Anthracite sparkle, like they have shimmer in them. The Truffle is much more matte and subdued, but I think it's elegant and a gorgeous shade with the Luce di Luna. I had also thought about the Jet Mist Antiqued yesterday. It was very pretty, resembled soapstone without the maintenance issues, and 25% less than the Luce. Check it out! If I did the Luce di Luna just on my islands, I might splurge. And do something more solid and less expensive on my perimeter. But, I thought the wood top on my eating island would be warmer than the quartzite, and I don't think I can do three different countertops (wood, Luce di Luna, and quartz or granite) in one kitchen. ;-) So many decisions, aargh.

There are quite a few videos of most of the colors on you tube. Just search wet edge Luna quartz.

So, is it a quartz counter or a quartzite? Two radically different things. Quartz is a manufactured counter. Quartzite is a natural stone. It looks a ton like luce di luna quartzite...I'm betting it's the same. If so, do a google search with "luce di luna gardenweb" and you'll come up with a bunch of people who also think it's very pretty and have used it. :) Here is a link that might be useful: Luce di luna quartzite
