Based on your demo images I was expecting the StepNoise version to look best but
the crackle solid version seemed slightly more realistic in this particular
scene. The option to select which function to use is very useful.

LIGHTSYS is a much better lighting method than I've been able to achieve so some
realism was lost in my scene but I think you and your collaborators have created
an awesome material. Maybe LIGHTSYS can be applied to this scene in order to
take full advantage of the subtle nuances of your granite but that will have to
be a project for another day...

The attached image shows how great the new granite looks in spite of my poor
scene lighting ability. This type of granite turned out to be a little too
"busy" for this scene but I think the Flanders Gray will be perfect. (Just as
you described in your posting!) The coloration of the Flanders Gray sample is
spectacular in my opinion and I hope that variation makes it into the final
product.

Thanks for letting me beta test your granite!

Kind regards,
Dave Blandston
