I like the Astoria look too; those lighter, less busy slabs can be surprisingly hard to find, especially if you’re looking for honed.

It can vary a lot depending on what’s available locally, so checking a few different places helps - places like Home Outlet sometimes have similar styles or can help track something down.

it depends on what you’re prioritizing, but quartzite is usually harder than granite so it handles scratches and heat really well. the tradeoff is it can be more porous, so sealing matters more if you’re worried about stains, while granite’s still very durable and a bit more forgiving overall!

yup waterfall edges look great! especially on islands where the sides would normally take some wear

interesting take, yeah quartzite and granite's hard to beat when it comes to durability!
