I dont know but at $150 + sf paid price they were more than the 22caret gold 2x2 I set in 07. Now to be honest they are some of the coolest tile, and they really make the kitchen pop. Wished I had a better camera, in person they change color based on your angle of view.
What did you use for a setting material?
I used PAM TITE Tile went on finished plywood. http://pamfast.com/index.php/news/unique_pamtite_hot_melt_adhesive_from_pam_fastening/
Grout was Trucolor French Grey.
I have taken to setting backsplashes with Pamtite so I can set and grout immediately.

Do you guys always do kitchens upside down?.
Thanks for info. I always look forward to your posts.
For something like this why not do it one step all with grout?I used PAM TITE Tile went on finished plywood. http://pamfast.com/index.php/news/unique_pamtite_hot_melt_adhesive_from_pam_fastening/

Getting everything in place and keeping it there is a pain, even worse if you try to use a 1 step does it all (poorly) product.For something like this why not do it one step all with grout?
I did my backsplash with Permacolor and admix, the grab strength was incredible, no sag, but once you slap the tile on it wants to stay there and it's nearly impossible to "float" it around on the wall. But I gotta say it was hella fast.Getting everything in place and keeping it there is a pain, even worse if you try to use a 1 step does it all (poorly) product.
I don't use much Laticrete besides 253 gold & Strata Mat, as the supplier is inconvenient.
