Granite and Marble are natural stone that is cut from the quarries of the earth.  Our stone comes from all over the world. Granite, Marble, Soapstone and Quartzite are all porous and need to breathe. 

They need to be sealed and have their own qualities. Granite has a lot of motion and color variance while marble is anti-microbial and anti-bacterial.  Quartz is an engineered stone that is made from crushed quartz and designed. Usually quartz is designed as a very quiet color or movement that is very modern. Quartz are not porous.  Soapstone is nearly impervious to staining, Scratches can be sanded out, Develops patina over time, Sealing not required; nonporous, Does not burn or scorch, Naturally sanitary surface. Quartzite is very hard, scratch resistant, we recommend sealing.
