new granite

    Hello,

We live in Calgary Alberta Canada and have just done a kitchen reno which includes Wild Wine granite. The supplier indicated it was from Norway but it looks like its Brazilian? Is it really granite? how should it
be treated? We are getting rings on it that seem to be caused by innocuous things like chicken broth in a pyrex measuring cup. My fabricator has applied a 'silicone like ' treatment to the surface. Nothing else. He says it
should only cause the water to bead up and should not be any issue itself.He now plans to send a crew to apply a sealant used on marble to stop these rings from occuring. Does this seem like a good idea? We really love the stone but are confused as to why this is happening and what should be done.

Thank you.
