Thanks. Validating... it depends on how deep you want to go into the 
Uncanny Valley, or beyond into a complete and exact copy of reality. The 
second, is imo, hardly possible (and certainly not recommended in terms 
of workload and ultimate usage); the first would need a lot more 
detailed work including close-up comparisons with real samples, but 
would not be justified by the average intentions of individual users. I 
doubt if even professionals would want it: they probably would opt for a 
high-resolution image_map.

So, I do validate this version of the Dakota Red granite, perhaps not as 
a true /Dakota Red/, but as a type of red granite. In a later stage we 
shall tackle the /Canadian Pink/ and the /North American Pink/. Will 
they be different from the present one? We shall see.
