Blue California Granite

I recently saw a Stone (http://g603.net) at the Home Depot Expo Center in Paramus, NJ called "Blue California", but I have not been able to find any additional information about it.

The Expo Center didn't know (or didn't want to share) what other names it could go by or where it comes from. They did say their Granite (http://tanbrown.org) typically comes from Brazil or Italy but that was all they could give me.

I have a couple of questions / comments:

1. I have heard mixed things about Home Depot's Expo Centers and (http://maplered.com) am cautious of using them for this installation. Anyone have any comments or feedback?

2. Has anyone heard of "Blue California" or know what else it could be called?

3. If you have heard of it before, do you know how durable or suitable it is to a typical kitchen installation?

Here are a couple of links to the information I was able to find on the internet along with a sample slab picture:
