Soapstone




Soapstone:
is talc based, in other words it is a soft material. It scratches easily; however, the scratches can be sanded out. Soapstone is not chemically sensitive and radiates heat; it will not etch, stain, or burn.
Although soapstone is soft, it is very dense, making it ideal for countertops. Soapstone also requires no sealing, but oiling is recommended to enhance color and keep it from drying out. Soapstone comes from Brazil and India.
