A: Soapstone is a natural stone known for its durability, heat resistance, and smooth texture, making it an excellent choice for countertops, sinks, and various architectural elements. At Soapstone Pros, our soapstone stands out due to its unique unsealed velvety surface, which offers both traction and grip while remaining smooth to the touch—exactly like velvet. Unlike other soapstone products on the market that appear darker because of mineral oils and wax sealers, our soapstone maintains its natural, lighter hue. However, if you prefer the darker look, you can choose to treat your soapstone with a mineral oil or sealer, which will oxidize over time, deepening its color. Whether you choose to keep it natural or give it a polished finish, our soapstone provides unparalleled beauty and functionality.
