Also...There is a fabricator/installer offering about 40 different granites for $30/sq ft including fabrication, installation and the stainless steel sink. (Countertops) I was wondering why so cheap and thinking perhaps it was due to low quality stone...or some black market.I know for instance that some travertine has more pores in it than others and I was told that this type of travertine is not good quality. I can't remember for the life of me who told me this, but it stuck in my head.

there is no such thing as poor quality stone..this is the first thing I go over in the class in some detail. remember the stone is not poor quality, it is a rock and is made by nature.On Mon, Oct 26, 2009 at 4:38 PM, Georgia Rivera <georgia@stonebuff.com> wrote:Hi all,
I hope everyone had a great time in Las Vegas (who attended). I think it would be important for me to know what characteristics to look for in good to poor quality stones. I figure it makes a huge difference when it comes to working with it and I would like to know what I should look for to see if I am dealing with a good or poor quality stone.
Thank you :)
