Soapstone
Countertops
Soapstone is a dense, durable natural stone with a smooth, “soapy” feel from its talc content. Heat-resistant and chemically inert, it won’t stain, react to chemicals, or harbor bacteria. Typically gray with greenish hues or quartz veining, it darkens over time to a rich charcoal, making it a long-lasting choice for indoor or outdoor use.
Soapstone is the most durable and resilient of the natural stone countertops. Grey soapstone countertop by Legacy Countertops.
