I googled:

Looks like granite from India and really looks like a Madura Gold or a Kashmire Gold to me!

Very strong, heavy and dense granite! don't have to seal!

THANKS petra_granite. seems like that's a good granite website. I can't tell from the photo if its a granite " with lots of movement" which the sample I saw had. Do you know of a website that lets you know which granite is stronger than others?

"World's First Granite Temple. The Brihadeswara temple at Tanjavur in Tamil Nadu is the first temple in the world to be built with granite"

granite from india: probably the most dense : no sealer needed: or maybe one time sealing:

labradorite////Anorthosites

Natural stone from : Ukraine, Norway, Finland:
emerald pearl, blue pearl, volga blue, labrador antique: never have to seal! never stains: should never stain.

My very favorites are from Ukraine, Norway and Finland

**all said: I still believe there is a need to use the correct cleaners to maintain the beauty of the stone and keep looking beautiful. Always wiping up spills immediately no matter what!

petra granite, is that pix of the labradorite close up crystal the same as the labradorite bianco? If not, what is it called? It's beautiful.

The link I looked at looks exactly like my Kashmir Gold.
