Tunas Verde Cracks

We are buying a new construction house and they just installed the granite (Tunas Verde) in our kitchen and we noticed two seperate longs cracks both over 2" long.  One is on the island and one is on the counter.  They said these cracks are natural for this Tunas Verde granite and that it will not crack further.  They first claimed we signed a waiver when we chose the slabs, but we never did.  When we looked at the slab we looked more for the color and pattern rather than any cracks.  If they had told us that this granite was prone to cracks we would not have chosen this.  Now they say that they will give us a warranty for 10 years.  Is it true that cracks are part of the characteristics of Tunas Verde granite?  We are due to close on the house this week and we are wondering whether to insist on having it replaced since we never signed the waiver or just live with it.  Will these long cracks affect the integrity of the granite/countertop?  I am especially concerned since we live in earthquake state of California.
 
 
Thanks for your help and advise!
