Shivakashi

Dear Sir/Madam:

Three years ago we remodeled our kitchen and found findstone.com very
helpful in advising on granite and the care of it.  We tested a stone
called Imperial White and were very disappointed with the stain
results.  In reading your site, weeks later, we find out it is one of
the worst choices for kitchen counter.  We installed a very dark (not
grey) Blue Pearl and loved the results.  A beautiful stone.

Now we are in a new home and are stuck with dark cherry cabinetry so
Blue Pearl is not an option.  We are considering Shivakashi for our
kitchen counters.   I have concerns, because it is so light, that it
may stain easily, much like the Imperial White.  Would appreciate any
info you can give on the granite.  If sealing is required, how often?

Thanks,

RB
