Soapstone

Description:

Soapstone is a natural, metamorphic rock composed primarily of talc, giving it a smooth, matte texture with a soft, soapy feel. It typically comes in shades of gray, green, and black with subtle veining.

Best Used For:

Kitchen countertops, bathroom vanities, fireplaces, sinks, and backsplashes.

Why Use it:

Soapstone is non-porous, heat-resistant, and highly resistant to stains, making it an excellent choice for kitchens and bathrooms. Its natural durability requires minimal maintenance, though it can darken over time, enhancing its character. The stone’s ability to withstand high temperatures makes it perfect for fireplace surrounds. Applying mineral oil can help deepen its color and maintain a uniform appearance.
