What is happening
Pitting is a scatter of tiny holes in the surface. It is most common on black and dark granites, where mineral crystals pop out during polishing or daily use. The holes catch the light and trap dirt.
What to look for
Pinhead dots across a polished granite counter
Tiny craters that hold water or dirt
A rough feel on an otherwise glossy surface
Pits that show most on dark stone in low, angled light
