The worry is that they have also siliconed the sink in place so I am hoping it is salvageable!
So why not leave the sink side and replace the stove side? I think the direction of the grain in the sink side looks better- also- added to the mix you have is the diagonal direction of the floor-sorry this happened to you but I bet everyone who reads this will never take it for "granite" (sorry- couldn't resist) that the fabricator will automatically match the grains-I never in a million years would have thought to ask-(and I'm beginning to wonder if I even would have noticed.)
Taking off a granite slab is not easy. I had granite installed a while back, and on one counter it was measured wrong and cut to large. When we saw it we had them remove it and cut off a couple of inches and reinstall it. Getting that slab off after it is silicon ed on is a BIG project. It was glued to the plywood below, and the wood was destroyed in the process, so after the slab was off and turned upside down, they had to go through hell to get the plywood off the granite. This was a plain piece, no sink involved. I can't imagine getting a top off with a sink. You have to be super careful not to break the granite. I hope to never have to go through that again. It's definitely not an easy task, and success isn't guaranteed..!
