Can't choose between granite or marble for your kitchen or bath surfaces? Take a look at this Peribonka Black Granite countertop. This Canadian stone has the strength and durability of granite and the unique veining and texture of marble. It can be highly polished (as shown in photo), honed or flamed (primarily for outdoor applications). Installed price is about $65 a square foot, depending on edge profiles and other custom work (November 2004).
