neroselover...yes, that macaubus is definitely a contender! Peke...that site has some BEAUTIFUL stones!! I found several I like. However, I do not live near any (I live in Michigan). It does give me some sort of reference though so I can search for some of those stones around where I live. breezygirl...how do you like your carrara? I'm too afraid that marble would end up ruined in my house, but I definitely LOVE many of the marbles! I agree about the bianco Antico...I had originally considered a bianco romano that I saw several months ago...but since then I haven't seen any slabs of that that I like. I prefer a softer veiny look. Thanks for all of your suggestions:)

Me......I do not remember the price of the cristallo slab (first 2 pics I posted). What I have installed in my guest bath is Crystal Moon which looked to me like the EXACT same material as the Cristallo except was more bluish (which is the 3rd pic). The Crystal Moon was $67 a sq ft fabricated and installed, so for that guest room the cost for the top and backsplash was $675 and an extra $75 to install the sink. I will say though that when my fabricators saw my selection, they moaned. They did not like working with that material because it has a tendency to crumble when being cut.....all those big crystals tend to break off in chunks. I was informed that they would not be fabricating that material in any of their future jobs. As far as comparing prices between the Cristallo and White Princess or Bianco Antico, I am not that familiar with them, so can’t comment on that. Also, each stone yard across the country can be miles apart in their pricing, so it’s difficult to say. In regard to colors complementing your cabs, each slab under the same name can be so different from one another and the only way to know for sure is to view your cabinets and counter selection side by side and preferably in your own space because of home lighting and other factors. Selecting counters was not the most enjoyable for me....I despise lugging around samples and all the back and forth to the stone yard.
