[quote=Anonymous]We have fairly white Fantasy Brown counters (7 years now) and it is sometimes labeled quartzite, granite, or marble in stone yards. It is actually a marble, but quite durable. Ours has a finish somewhere between honed and leathered (closer to honed). It has not stained, etched, or chipped during use. I had tested a piece prior to installation. I scratched it with utensils and knives, let staining and acidic foods sit on it for days, banged it with pots. It will etch if you leave lime slices on it for many hours. just as they did the day they were installed. My Fantasy Brown sample was definitely softer than a granite sample I also tested, but I determined that I could live with it. I have not resealed on used any special cleaners. Kids get food coloring, paint, and slime on them and I am able to clean them with either a damp cloth, soft scrub, or a scotchbright pad. They look just like they did when first installed.[/quote]
