I was wondering if anyone had some thoughts about what is causing the<br>
darkness on the stone in these pics.  It is a fairly new installation of<br>
quartzite.  In the time since it was put in, the dark areas have begun to<br>
appear.  The person who brought us in has already had the installer, someone<br>
who got the stone, and the company whose sealer they used to look at this<br>
and no one knows what caused it or how to correct it.  I thought that maybe<br>
it has to do with the adhesive used? Although it does not go entirely around<br>
the perimeter.  Some areas there are only small spots. I also need to know<br>
how I could attempt to correct this.<br>
