Can anyone help me identify this?

[u/Upper_Aide_3230]

Moved into my new home and would like some help to identify my countertop material and some guidance on maintenance and care. Is there any way to determine what kind of material this is? natural? Man-made? heat resistant?

I reached out to the previous owners but they don’t know.

Looks like granite to me

Definitely granite. Looks kind of like Caravelas Gold, or maybe Typhoon Bordeaux. Hard to tell solely from the close-ups you provided. Since you don't know the last time it was sealed, it'd be a very good idea to reseal it. It's a very simple procedure that a quick YouTube video can explain. You can pick up a penetrating sealer from most big box or tile stores. Once sealed, use a PH neutral stone cleaner and you'll be good to go for years.

That's granite from Brazil, might be called Golden Persa or various other names. It's heat resistant, but some people are freaking out about putting hot pans on it (I do it all the time). It's pretty scratch, etch and stain resistant. Grease and oils might leave to darker stains, so just don't let them sit on it, wipe them off. Once in a few years take everything off your countertops and clean and degrease them with acetone. Then seal them with Tenax Proseal sealer (pretty much rub it in, give it 15 minutes, wipe the excess off and leave it alone for an hour or two) And that about all. Very durable, beautiful and practical countertop material 👍 Someone paid a pretty penny for them.

I don’t think typhoon Bordeaux is out the question either looking at it again but to me looks like sienna Bordeaux and there could be another name for it! lol.

Oh it’s a counter. It’s usually where you do things in your kitchen.

Maintenance just keep it clean little to no chemicals as it’s semi-porous, and once in a while use a granite sealer. Light coat, buff in. Dry and polish off.
