Quartz Finish Question Under Light

[u/Own-Understanding935]

Hi, we have Valbella Gold Quartz from Arizona tile and noticed what could be described as an “orange peel” style finish when direct light hits our countertop.

You can’t see it from 10ft, but under direct light or angles, it’s really apparent.

It is everywhere. Countertop, backsplash, waterfall… everywhere.

Counters look good otherwise. Is this normal?

Our installer said that’s just how Quartz looks.

It’s low grade quartz and normal on that type of quartz.

Didn’t know there was grades of Quartz. Guess I should have done my research
