No photos yet. I am in the process of contemplating which granite to choose for the kitchen counters and for the island. The same one? Different ones? Contrast? Drama? (no) So many choices!
Having never shopped for granite before, I have been amazed and delighted at the options that exist. The colors, swirls ("drag," I guess it is called), mica, shimmery gold chips and array of patterns is astounding. To think the sheets of polished granite were once secrets hidden in the ground all gray and rough, covered in dirt. WHO discovered that pulling this stone from the bowels of the earth and polishing it would yield such glorious results?!
It is another of God's hidden wonders. Who knew. He creates the sunsets we take delight in, but under the surface, he creates this magical world of beautiful stone. No doubt we have discovered merely a hint of the jewels that lay in the earth. He must smile and take pleasure in their creation and then find that pleasure is increased with every discovery we make and delight in.
Assuming one or two slabs of granite end up gracing our kitchen cabinetry, it will be for me a small artistic miracle from the hand of God that I'll enjoy daily.
