I saw some countertop material the other day that looks dead-on like natural stone - agate/jasper and it has been on my mind for our kitchen island which isnt built yet. Out of sheer coincidence Scott NRG sent me this picture of a 2x4 tile today. Thoughts?

I honestly wasn't trying to be funny or provocative. The first time I loaded this page and scrolled down, my immediate impression was of an x ray or mri of a woman's nether region. Sorry.

Of course if you installed them the way they are in the first picture, it could look like you're "eating out" while you're dining in!

Thank you rockjunquie 😳 Everyone was so excited over the natural stone tiles, I didn’t want to have to say it. And… now I’m kinda thinking the excitement may have unknowingly been for reasons not fully understood by the viewers.🤣
