Fifi 0 Report post Posted May 22, 2008 btw, granite top is black galaxy from china. he said india and china is same de. read in this forum dat some got the granite from india and processed it in china dat's why become china black instead of indian black the quote for the granite top is actually for another granite, not for black galaxy. black galaxy is more expensive. he said he wont charge us extra for that mayb he din earn much for some items dat's why he quoted more ex for water heater? but a bit too ridiculously high loh Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
