So, here I am looking at our nice new granite windowsills which were just installed in our patio room, and along comes the electrician who says ....."hey, I see you got some of that Taliban granite.
Well, not knowing if I even heard him right, I ask "Watcha talkin about John?". Well, turns out he had just bought some granite counters for his house, and he ran into some just like ours (Black with brownish and reddish flecks) and finding out it ran less money that others he had looked at, he asked why.
He was told that it was quarried in Afghanistan, and part of the money goes to the taliban.
