Comments (24)I like that pendant. (I'm looking for something similar to replace my beloved pendants over my peninsula that have some issues so I popped over to the CB website.) Are you OK with the low light output? 25 watts is very low. My two glass pendants have 60 watt bulbs and seem like just enough light. Fewer would not be sufficient. Hope I didn't burst your bubble. It's so hard to find just the right pendant shape, in just the right size, with just the right lumens, at just the right price!...See MoreWhite Macaubas quartzite stain removal success story
Comments (14)Thank you very much I just purchased this stone as well and noticed every time any drop of water falls on the stone it makes a water stain which tells me is very porous. Now I know it needs to be sealed. Awesome to come across this blog....See Moreneed color help- will this quartzite look good with white cabinets?
Comments (13)And if you haven't seen it, my kitchen is green and white. I have a very busy quartzite. As a full slab it looks almost overwhelming but once on a horizontal surface, it calms down quite a bit without overwhelming the rest of the kitchen. My slab:In my kitchen:Along the perimeter before my stained glass window went in:On the countertop: Notice how it's not so overwhelming on the counters? Also I have lots of reds, oranges, peaches and purples in mine too but once it's all down, it doesn't override the greens. If I hadn't seen my slabs, I probably would have picked something like that last slab you showed. It's stunning....See MoreHelp my white quartzite is turning brown
Comments (24)Lauren I hate that you are dealing with this! I have to admit I'm a bit perplexed at the discoloration, because the way the darkening flows almost matches the movement in your stone and it's throughout so much of your countertop space. If it was oil staining, I just don't see how it would be spread out all over the island.. I know, nothing I'm saying is very comforting.. May I ask what cleaner you use? And you definitely do have a more porous stone due to the visual cross bedding. But still, that is a lot of darkening. I really hope the Stonetech works for you. If it does then it is very important you put a great sealer on as soon as you're all finished. You'll notice your countertop will get darker when you put the sealer on, and it will lighten up as it absorbs, do this more then once. I also recommend using a cleaner that won't shorten the lifespan of your sealer. I'm attaching pictures of a sealer and cleaner that you can get on Amazon. Both are great products. Let me know If the stonetech does not work and I'll spend more time pondering the problem to find another option. :)...See MoreJodie Schilling
