Ray, every granite supplier I know of stores their stone outside. I've never heard of an issue with it. I don't think millions of years old stone will be affected by the elements.

I know that it won’t hurt it! :-)
Just wondering about the effect on sealing it.
Seems like it could get, relatively, saturated by the rain.
But then, now that I think of it, I suppose no more than the water table would have done to it already and having been cut out of the ground it could be more dry that it ever had been.
Thanks
Ray

All I've ever seen was stored outside.

Doesn't seem to be a problem, when they put ours in last August they sealed it that day. I'm not convinced that the sealing is that important anyway, the owner of the kitchen company that did ours said they haven't sealed their granite in the 10 years they've had it and it still looks like new.
I started with absolutely nothing. Now, thanks to years of hard work, careful planning, and perseverance, I find I still have most of it left.

Another benefit of having them outside is you get to choose your slab in natural light instead of inside a warehouse.
