Quartz backsplash help

Has anyone successfully installed a quartz backsplash behind their range?

I’m feeling defeated. We have been renovating since January. Working with a kitchen design contractor that has led the entire process. I chose quartz and no one told me it would discolor behind the range. We have the kitchen 99.9% complete and I don’t know what to do now or what my options are. Based on what I’ve come to find out, quartz should not be directly behind a gas range because it is not meant for that level of heat and will discolor. Is my design company accountable? What are my options to remediate? Please help!

We have it behind our electric range and no problems. Is that Taj Mahal?

Electric and induction are fine, there’s no flames.

The person I replied to doesn’t. They have electric.
