Virginia Black is also called Virginia Mist or Jet Mist. Plenty of people here have used it, and there are lots of drool-worthy pictures. Search again -- you'll find it! Seems to me that most folks who've used it have been really happy with it. I think it's gorgeous, myself!

Great, I'll look for that! :) I love how there is at least 2-3 names for each one! :)

Here's some of my pics before we were finished with the remodel. BTW, I LOVE my honed jet mist!

Some of the pics show light reflections as spots. These were from temporary bulbs that we had in the cans. We have since replaced them with LED cans which eliminated those spot reflections.

WOW! That is gorgeous! I love it. Love. Love. Love.

It was quite the search for us too

I considered soap stone

Many samples later - tested by all - knives, vinegar, lemon, mustard, oils etc

Chose "victoria classico" honed

sample

Newly installed 4.5yrs ago

good luck

I love my Jet Mist honed. I fell head over heels in love
with the swirly pattern. It reminds me of wispy clouds
on a sky. Or maybe powdered sugar with a light breeze.
beautiful.
