The Genuine Stone logo is like a trademark for granite to show that it is the real deal. Thanks for your comments! Barb Michael:

It appears that you certainly have a passion for your product - I commend you for that! Here at PGC we sell Caesarstone, and we inform our customers of what it is composed of, and the differences between engineered stone and granite. Very few, but some still prefer engineered stone. Thanx again for reading, and best wishes to you and your company.” Howard:

It seems it is easy enough to just call it Granite. Genuine Stone kind of sounds like a Quartz item - like TechniStone and others. I wonder how Genuine Stone(r)will help with this clarification?

My argument with you is very simple. You have provided the definition. If you read it repeatedly, you will realize that the resin used in engineered stone is not medicine, and it is certainly not varnish. Therefore by the definition you supplied, it is used to make plastic. Obviously this plastic is required to hold the quartz crystals together. So in essence it appears that your definition supports my statement that engineered stone is composed of quartz and resin (plastic). Again I thank you for your time, and argument. Respectfully, Barb Howard:

I’m irritated when you write “plastic” instead of resin. Review the definition of Resin below and tell me where it says Resin is also known as plastic? It states that resin is used in the making of varnishes and plastics; not what you are implying. –noun 1. any of a class of nonvolatile, solid or semisolid organic substances, as copal or mastic, that consist of amorphous mixtures of carboxylic acids and are obtained directly from certain plants as exudations or prepared by polymerization of simple molecules: used in medicine and in the making of varnishes and plastics. 2. a substance of this type obtained from certain pines; rosin. Your thoughts on this matter would be appreciated. Feel free to email me at howardhampton@hotmail.com Barb:
