I wasn't home when it was being installed, so I was only able to
comment on it at the time. I did notice it as soon as I walked in the
bathroom, though.
I haven't paid for the granite yet. It almost looks like someone
accidentally cut it in the wrong place, then filled it in with
something else. I wasn't sure if this kind of thing was common and I
was being oversensitive. It sounds like I'm not and it really does
look bad.
This is a pretty standard order of stone, so I'm hoping it won't be
too hard to match it.
Thanks,

Have him turn it around and polish the other side.
This might be possible, if the blemish is not a cut that goes all the
way through the piece.

Sure looks like a false-start cut to me, and should have been caught by
the guy doing the polishing. If they don't have any matching pieces in
the pile out back to make a new backsplash, I'd give them one shot at
having their best installer patch it using a dremel, some dust off their
cutting table, and the expoxy they use for invisible joints. Otherwise,
they can eat the top and switch it out.
