Ok...new black galaxy installed. Hand selected stone from MSI (I understand they're reputable)...and I'll withhold the name of the fabricator (for now). Immediately after the job was completed, I noticed a visible long (3") hairline scratch in the middle of one of the slabs. The scratch is only visible at certain angles, but is deep enough to be felt (barely). Two questions...do I need to be concerned that my granite is real...I understand it's nearly impossible to scratch real granite. NOTE: these guys cleaned the surface with pure acetone, so I doubt a colorant was used (but maybe I'm naive). Second, what do you recommend I do as the scratch does bother me. Thanks!
