  • Marble.com - Derek 07:50PM, Feb 11 2012 I think that's a stunning combination, personally.
  • Marble.com - Derek 04:19PM, Feb 9 2012 I also feel that it's not too dark, but for a happy medium and choices a little on the lighter side, take a look at options such as Tropical Brown, Baltic Brown, and Ouro Brasil. Hope this helps!
  • Helen 05:05AM, Feb 9 2012 I am trying to select a granite for counter tops and tile for the backsplash for a very small L shaped kitchen.There is no window. The cabinets will be Honey/Spice Wood and the floor will be hardwood with white appliances. I like glass tile(light greenish,brownish colors) and similar colors for the counter, but I am open for suggestions. Thank you.
  • Marble.com - Derek 08:07PM, Feb 8 2012 Technically: Yes, absolutely. But it's not all that practical and prohibitive because of the weight and cost. People choose tile thickness instead, although if you do not like grout lines and have the budget, for all means go for it!
  • Marble.com - Derek 07:58PM, Feb 8 2012 That's the confusing part of purchasing a granite countertop. Often the granite name will change slightly or sometimes totally between fabricators although it's the same stone. Unfortunately, there is no set consensus or universal standard that must be followed for stone names in the countertop industry.
  • Marble.com - Derek 07:39PM, Feb 8 2012 For an estimate on the Iguana Green, send over your layout of the project to our Ridgefield office. Include your contact information and installation address.
  • Marble.com - Derek 07:36PM, Feb 8 2012 My recommendations for you to consider and look at would be a Giallo Etrusco mosaic tile, and a 2" x 2" Sienna Gold tumbled tile. I've attached images of my suggestions for your reference. Hope this helps!
  • Andyandjill 10:51PM, Feb 7 2012 We have cherry red cabinets with our amazon star (very similar) and it looks awesome!  What did you decide to do??
  • Marble.com - Derek 02:35PM, Dec 9 2011 Hello. How may we help you?
  • Blobby 05:47PM, Dec 7 2011 hello
  • Marble.com - Kinga 10:10PM, Nov 9 2011 I like Derek’s recommendation. Also check out Esq Bengali Beige Mosaic Brick or Keramia Terra Blacno. Let us know what you think!
  • Marble.com - Derek 08:13PM, Nov 4 2011 What tiles have you looked at so far? My recommendations are tumbled natural stones such as Rhine travertine (first image) or Mediterranean Ivory travertine (second image) that will provide the neutral softness you're looking to achieve with the backsplash. Hope this helps.
  • Dawfogle 03:46AM, Nov 4 2011 what color backsplash would you put with amazon star and maple white washed cabinets?  We didn't have enough to do granite backsplash and now all tiles for backsplash we have tried are either too busy or just not the right shade.  Thanks for any help.
  • Marble.com - Derek 06:58PM, Jul 8 2011 I agree that Amazon Star has strong red tones that will look best with a lighter cabinet for contrast. I recommend to consider stones such as Madura Gold and Four Seasons instead. Remember that in the end, it's still your personal choice and it's best to full at the full slabs in-person and bring samples home to put against cabinets in the kitchen light. Hope this helps.
  • Marble.com - Kinga 10:09PM, Jul 7 2011 Mimi Lac23,
    I feel the Amazon Star paired with cherry red cabinets may be a bit intense. The colors would blend making your space feel bland and visually uninteresting. If you like red tones, you may want to consider using a different stone like Tan Brown, Dakota Brown or Crema Bordeaux. You need contrast in the space so going darker or much lighter to offset the cherry cabinets would look great. Hope this helps!
  • Mimi Iac23 01:37AM, Jul 7 2011 Would the Amazon star go with cherry red cabinets.
  • margaret 03:20PM, Jun 1 2011 where can I get this in Long Island

  • kathy 10:59PM, Mar 19 2009 I was told that I would not see the blue at all w/the amazon star--is that right
    • All Granite and Marble 02:19PM, Mar 20 2009 kathy : It tends to be more grayish/silver than blue. Yes, you probably won't notice the blue.
  • Alan 11:10PM, Mar 6 2008 Our k-fam rm: Am. Star, trad. cabs - red-brown to go w/ granite. Black granite floor & sink, stainless/black appliances, blue drapes and lamp, khaki sofas pick up pale green in granite. Palest orange paint to go w/ the granite and cabs. Classic library-kitchen.
