Granite worktops I could believe. There are some damn great big

granite about. But one company tried to sell us a quartz worktop...
which I don't believe.

quartz is great, I've got a bathroom kitted out in quartz tiles

Very nice. But "granite", not granite. Granites are light coloured -
grey or pink, even red. But not black. Probably basalt or gabbro.

Basalt. Definitely not gabbro.

Really?

"It is also used in kitchens and their countertops, also under the
misnomer of 'black granite'"
