Just moved into a new house and removed a pantry at the end of an existing counter top. Installed new cabinets in place of the pantry. The problem is now the length of the new counter top that needs to be installed is longer than the standard granite length. So, I would like to continue the countertop with either granite tile or natural stone, but am seeing difficulties in finding a way of finishing the edges on the new counter top extension with the existing granite countertop bull nose edge. Can't seem to find the same edge anywhere, any suggestions on how I might make the transition, with a good finish on it?

Thanks

What shape is the edge design now? Is it a 1/4 turn? What is the thickness of the tile? We have router bits which will put the edge design in the material:

as well as the polishing pads to bring the gloss up to what the face of the tiles is now:
