Soapstone is a unique natural stone. Soapstone is very dense, non-porous and non-staining. It takes very high levels of heat and cold. Will not harbor bacteria, mold or mildew. Wine, vinegar or lemon juice will not harm or stain the stone. Never chemically seal this stone. Use any household cleaner. Cookware and heating fireplaces are made out of soapstone so it is never a worry placeing a hot pot on your soapstone counter. Because of these qualities soapstone is the perfect choice for kitchen and bathroom countertops, fireplaces and custom made sinks. Our soapstone sinks are beautifully hand crafted to your specifications.
