Black Soapstone Countertops

Black soapstone is a charcoal to green-black natural stone with soft white and gray veins. It has a smooth, velvety feel.

Is Black Soapstone right for your kitchen?

Soapstone is a dense natural stone that is non-porous, so it does not absorb stains and does not need sealing. It handles heat very well. It is softer than granite, so it can scratch, but small scratches can be sanded out or blended with mineral oil.

Soapstone darkens with mineral oil, and many owners oil it every few weeks at first to get a deep, even color.
