Can Anyone Identify This Tile


This tile comes out of a grocery store, They think it's about 20 years old,
I looks like granite, and the color runs though the tile.
12 x 12 3/8 thick

Daltile thinks it may have been theirs but not sure (the dude at my daltile place is maybe late twentys himself). The people at my metro, and florida tile weren't any help either.

I'm going to try to find a show room with someone who has been in tile for longer than 10 years

Can you remove one? look on the back for info. Also if it was a chain store when originally installed, you may be able to visit another of that chain, or call the maintenance dept for that chain for info.
Looks similar to the stuff that Sears uses on their entryways, I don't remember what brand Sears used, maybe Crossville Ceramics.

At first glance I thought Florida.

But I am sure I have also seen it in Crossville.

Good call maybe by Pierce.

That looks to me like Daltile Porcealto series.

Dal Porcealto is discontinued now, but I think that would be the match. But check Crossville.
