Looking for Simulated Granite

[witz1976]

So as the title states, I am looking for a material that would have a similar look to granite. I have a customer who was asking if I can make a pen from the real stuff which I cannot do. Anyone seen something that could pass for a substitute?

Thanks!

I believe there are corian colors resembling granite, might start there in your search

How about using Corian pretty sure you can find something there I have some quartz look alike.

+1 on the Corian and in your order today I placed Classic Gift, a Lucite called Stone that might work...enjoy

Just a thought..... There are some soapstones that look remarkable similar to granite.
If not...+1 on Corian.

Didn't even think of Corian, I check around and see what I can find. Andy, PM sent.

Thanks,

There is some powder you mix with resin that looks like granite and in different colors, too. I just can't remember the name, but it comes in a plastic baggie. I believe casting craft sells it, not sure.

I just did a quick search of just one site. I have not sen this in real life so cannot guarantee the accuracy of the photo. the name of the Corian is Monte Blanc.

Wondering if it is close in your opinion?

Use this and call the pen your Monte Blanc--spelling is different, but the intent is clear!!

been turning serpentene supposing about a 5 on the moes scale of hardness. It looks like granite and turns like crap with carbide but the bur on a smallest m4 bowl gouge performs quite well.

What color of granite are you looking for since it comes in various colors? I have some corian that I can send you that looks like the photos posted.
thanks,
