It’s granite but passed under a row of Oxy Acetylene torches. The torch burns off some of the top layer and leaves the harder crystals to create a mottled effect. From a practical perspective it’s works as it does not show finger prints, water / grease marks as the light does not bounce off it in a uniform way.
