trying to find soapstone in bklyn

Having finally decided on soapstone for kitchen counters, I’m looking for local source/installers. One brownstoner suggestion was smc stone. Went there today, they were very nice, and have only one kind of greenish soapstone (don’t know the name)and I like it. Is there any reason to go to a place that specializes in soapstone–should I just trust that whatever SMC Stone has will be good quality? Is soapstone a particularly fussy material, and needs to be bought /fabricated through soapstone outlet?
