The skinny on stone!!

The big 3: natural stone (marble, soapstone), quartz, and quartzite (also a natural stone)

Natural stone is great for those appreciate patina and character because these stones tend to be softer and more porous, which leads to etching and staining. Although sealing helps with this!

Quartz is manufactured to be durable and non-porous, so it’s great for families, rental properties, and anyone who doesn’t want to babysit their countertops. However, depending on your style, quartz can lean a little too “perfect.”

Quartzite is 100% natural stone, unlike quartz. It’s stronger than marble, but still requires maintenance. It’s great for someone who likes the look of natural stone but wants a bit more durability.
