Bit hard to tell from those pics, but will be either Caeserstone (http://www.caesarstone.com.au/productinfo/productColours.html) or Corian (http://www.corian.com/), my guess would be Corian

Sorry about the quality of the pics! It feels like stone as it is worn where you do the dishes and is not new at all, I am guessing at least 30 -40 years old?

Thanks so much for the links I am off to check them out.

Terrazzo, its an Italian thing with stones that are polished.. :)

I agree with Brickie, looks like terrazzo to me.

Terazzo.

The new "in" name for terazzo is polished concrete.

Thanks so much, Now I know what it is I will (hopefully) be able to find out how we can restore it.

Again Thanks
