[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] This is not all true. We have soapstone counters and love them, but they are not extraordinarily durable. They are actually softer than most counters, so you need to be careful about cutting on them or pushing down on them. They will scratch easier than granite or marble. They do require some maintenance. You should oil or wax them a couple of times a year. [/quote]
