A decorative natural stone such as agate can be a creative opportunity of unlimited proportions. Backlighting is a simple technology with immense benefits on the aesthetic appeal of these agate types of kitchen countertops as well as on your kitchen in its entirety.

It's a nice little add-on if you really want to make the most out of being able to showcase a high-end countertop material such as agate.

Take note though that you should tread with caution as it doesn't come cheap. The basic rule of thumb when it comes to installations like this is that it is bound to cost you just as much as what the agate slab cost you, given the high service fees and installation costs.

It depends on the area that you're located in but when you factor in the end cost of a backlighting job for an agate countertop, it can range at $70 or more per square foot.

This is a bit of a hefty price tag to have to take on but for as long as you can afford it, the end result can be quite well worth it as it's the kind of look that you won't be able to replicate anywhere else.

Moreover, backlighting can really bring out the minerals and other colors flecked within the agate slab and highlight them accordingly.
