[quote=Anonymous]We have soapstone. We got it in Frederick, from Designer Surfaces (?) and picked out our own slab. First, it is gorgeous and I love how natural it looks with the matte finish. To me, I like the oiled look and we actually just ask our cleaning ladies to oil it when they clean (every 2 weeks). But it certainly optional and just for asethetics-- we used to only oil them before people came over. It is not porous and is totally heat resistant. It's major con is that is is SOFT. It will dent and scratch. You can buff out (or oil over) the scratches but if that's something that will drive you nuts,I would not recommend it. Post on your neighborhood listserv to see if someone will let you come and see it installed. I don't think it's cheaper than granite.[/quote]
