Ummmm.... well..... you see.... Hmmmm.....

OK, when you describe or sell these exquisite pieces, the slabs of
rock look to me like "gabbro", which are considered "granitoid" but
are not "granite" senso stricto. It's often referred to as "black
granite". It adorns many of the sills on the drive-through windows at
the In-n-Out Burger chain in CA. And lot's of other places too.

Sorry, but I'm a geologist, know granites and related rocks, and like
to keep the universe in order.

(Can you appreciate the color, though, Zz?)


I'm not going to argue that one way or another, it certainly appears to be
more than what I thought basic granite consists of: quartz, feldspar, and
mica. I'm going to go by the description used for these and other similar
tops: Granite top, color scheme: Verde Uba Tuba.

I _thought_ it had a green tinge to it. I adore green granite, the
greener the better. Now I know how I want to do my end tables once I
get enough crap out of the shop to work again...

Are the shaped legs courtesy of Schultz, from _Classic Arts & Crafts
Furniture You Can Build_? I've always liked the curves.
