Ron,
Did I miss something? I think I may have missed a previous message that
made the question a lot clearer. Sorry if I answered off subject. What was
the root of the question about the two stones, or was there one? I do see
the relation to marketing propaganda in the use of the two terms to make the
wares more appealing to the consumer. Granite just "sounds" expensive.
