The three gray sections shown here represent granite wall material.
(1) Two pieces at far end.
Rejected: Honed "Rhino black" granite wall material
Honed "Rhino Black" granite was rejected for the memorial's walls because of its tendency to show fingerprints.
(2) Three smaller pieces next to the gold thing
Selected: Honed "Coldspring Black" granite was selected as the wall material due to its richer visual texture, greater availability, and ability to hide fingerprints.
(3) The piece three from the far end of the table
Approved: Honed "Coldspring" granite with etched pattern for south wall
The etched geometric pattern used on the south wall was studied for legibility on a honed sample of "Coldspring Black" granite. Various sealant treatments were tested in the etched areas.
