I can't imagine anyone actually wanting a soapstone counter top, it is so very soft and scratches so easily.

No way. It's a natural and beautiful rock that doesn't need to be sealed. Compare it with granite- oops I set my pot on the granite. Oops I didn't use the specialty cleaner. Ridiculous.

I know it's natural and yes it is beautiful, it's just too soft for worktop installations. I have granite & Norwegian blue pearl and have had no issues. @@slappysal

happy with ours we chose it for the same reason it’s in your high school chemistry class: acid proof, heat proof stain proof… we can put ripping hot pans, live coals or gnarly acids on our counters without blinking😊

​@@jbowditch Just what I wanted- the freedom to fling gnarly acids on my counter tops

It’s my favorite. It has many advantages.
