Characteristics
Soapstone has a special quality not many other stones can boast: it is a very dense, non-porous stone, which means it resists staining. It is also an inert material, which means it does not react to strong acids nor bases.
Another remarkable benefit to soapstone is its ability to resist heat. Its high capacity for heat means setting a hot pot or pan on your countertop won’t cause the stone to crack.
Soapstone may be considered a contradictory stone: though it is easy to carve, it is also durable. This is a pliable stone, so it is not brittle and it won’t crack under stress, weight, nor impact.
Soapstone is a naturally non-stick material, which contributes to its ease of cleaning. Chefs: no need to worry about sticky substances and unsightly stains clinging to your countertops when you put this stone to work for you.
