[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Contractor steered us to quartzite, which is identical but not stainable. [/quote] Watch out, though. Two separate places swore up and down their "Super White" was quartzite, not marble. (Another insisted it was "white granite" and wouldn't stain at all.) Thankfully we got samples and tested before committing- all etched like crazy with all the acid samples we tried (lemon juice, vinegar, wine, etc). It was also incredibly soft - tapping a mug or bottle on it left obvious opaque dings. Too bad, it was pretty. I second the recommendation for GardenWeb. (Which is where I found out that nearly all Super White/White Fantasy is dolomitic marble, not quartzite.)[/quote]
