Silestone Black Dragon - looking for comparable color/design but less$
I'm looking for a less expensive option with the same color/design as Silestone Black Dragon. Is there a web site that might give you comparable black granite colors?

ct design studio Cambria is beautiful but will be more than the Silestone. Check out LG's line Viatera, Antique Limestone
http://www.lghausys.com/us/product/surfaces/viatera.jsp. They have several black options. It varies a bit by market and fabricator, but I always tell clients to expect to pay at least $70/sft for quartz if that gives you a reference point. The big box stores may be less but the options, colors are not as inclusive.

gregmisty Silestone is a European product and has European quartz and catered to European design and color. Cambria is manufactured in the US and has more of an American color palette. My cambria actually came in under what silestone was and comparable to what granite was running. I got 4cm edge installed for $76 a sq ft.

giwaters Cambria Blackwood is very similar to what I want but I can't get past the flecks of blue that I can see when light is reflected on it. My price locally is much less for Cambria vs Silestone. I'll check out the LG.
