Soapstone is a metamorphic rock also known as Steatite used in countertops. Soapstone is naturally quarried and is very unique in comparison to other stones like limestone, granite, marble or slate. What makes Soapstone very unique is even though it is a soft stone it is a very dense (non-porous) stone. Soapstone is impenetrable, no liquid will permeate the surface and it will not stain, even including acids or alkalis. No other stones have these qualities. Soapstone countertops are an excellent choice for homeowners who want a traditional look in their kitchen with a rich dark surface. The texture of soapstone will give you a smooth and silky appearance and can be easily cleaned with mineral oil. Mineral oil is completely safe to use and is the only oil that is recommended.
