Stone experts - is this a tooling line or is this acceptable?

| Calling out to the stone experts. Granite was installed yesterday (Costa Esmeralda). Despite prior abuse from the fabricator's wife (that's another thread), I think it all looks pretty good.
Except I'm not thrilled about the look of the edge. I'm not sure if this is how all 1.5" edges end up looking? Or if the white line I'm seeing in between the 2 layers is what a "tooling line" is (from the granite information/checklist). This looks better in some places where the stone is more green, and in other places it looks as white as the picture below.
Here's a close-up of the edge (yes, the counter is straight, my hand is not):
I think the one seam at the sink is ok, though?

| From what I can see - it looks like it meets industry standards.. the top pic shows a glue line - which in most cases IS visible
No matter how hard a guy tries - he can't always make glue lines - invisible -
so I always tell my clients - if you look hard enough for them - you'll find 'em.... The seam looks fine to me..... Overall - it looks like a good installation to me. hth kevin |

| I think it looks as good as it can with a variegated stone seam. You will quit noticing it very soon. |

| Thanks guys. One less thing to worry about. I do hope that someday my overly tuned hypercritical eye about everything having to do with the kitchen will go away. :) |
