Zodiaq® Myths
Zodiaq® is not natural stone
Zodiaq® is 93% pure quartz crystal, one of nature's strongest and most beautiful stones. Because quartz crystals are not large enough to use for slab surfaces, Zodiaq® is combined with an advanced polymer that increases durability and produces a consistent color.

Granite cannot be repaired
Granite can be re-finished and, in cases of chipping or breaking, can be repaired with colored epoxies that can take a polish.

Granite stains easily. 
Granite is resistant to stains. Generally, any liquid spilled on a granite top, if wiped up within a few minutes, will not stain. However, water can soak into a granite countertop and leave a dark colored spot but this will evaporate in minutes. Liquids that do not evaporate, such as oils, will cause stains if left to soak into the stone. Even oil stains can usually be removed by using a poultice or paste that will draw out the oil from the stone.
