On Apartment Therapy
Back to school. Gita from Thread Collective showed us a job they did in Brooklyn, where all the kitchen counters were a dark, soft black. Slate? We asked. No, Labtops. Oh, you mean like Fireslate (the counter tops that got harsh reviews a few months back)? No, Labtops. Real laboratory tops.

I'm trying to find out if what I have is actually Laboratory counter top, and what kind.
I got a couple of sections of counter top at a yard sale. The guy said it was laboratory top, but didn't know any more about it, since it was his ex-wife's. I've decided not to use it for our house, and I'm thinking of selling it, possibly on ebay. Lab cabinets with tops sell for really high prices there, so I think what I have may be worth something.
Here's what I've got--
black, looks kind of fibrous underneath.
very heavy--possibly 200 lbs for 6 foot section.
1 3/16 inches thick. beveled edge, drip groove underneath.
back splash is not molded, but a spearate piece, 1/2 inch thick, held on with screws (wobbly).
Any ideas how to do a test to determine what this is?
Also, how much does this sell for? (my guess is it's epoxy resin)
