[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Black (ish) honed granite. [b]More durable than slate or soapstone[/b] and not glossy. My in laws in have black slate and it looks terrible because of oil staining and is chipped. Only 10 years old[/quote] Soapstone is extraordinarily durable—requires no maintenance, heat-proof, antimicrobial. They use it in labs for a reason. It does scratch, which can be an aesthetic issue for some. But it will last forever with no upkeep.[/quote] It can look like hell after a few years, though. I want to love soapstone because it seems pretty "timeless" and I like the look. But my neighbor put it in and five years later it looks so tired. Lots of discolored patches, especially around the sink. A very uneven mottling. It's not a pretty kind of patina, it just looks bad.[/quote]
