Fissures found in Ubatuba granite worktops

Wow! It amazes me how many consumers want natural stone for their homes, for the design of kitchen worktops, vanity units and others such as tables and chopping boards, but don't want all of the natural features that come with it.

Ubatuba granite is a classic for this - its dark green texture is adorned with gold and black markings within; but many of these inner stone markings are also fissures in the stone.

Firstly a fissure is a break or a fine crack that naturally occurs in stone; and I know, you're thinking that you don't really want cracks in your new kitchen worktop, but these cracks will not affect the long term durability of your stone, but instead creates an amazing effect that truly makes each slab of Ubatuba unique.

I suppose; if you are looking for a product where you won't get these kinds of effects, then laminate, Corian and man-made stone such as quartzite are good choices.

I much prefer the natural look - atleast; if you do have a natural stone like granite, then your worktop won't be the same as the next person who has it...

Ciao for now!
