Hi Brownstoners – I am finishing up a kitchen and came to the conclusion that a slate grey colored material would look good. I saw some grey limestone which was beautiful, but I hear it stains and absorbs oils, even if it is treated. Then I started looking into soapstone. It seems like it would be nice aesthetically, but is supposed to be pretty heavy. Would you be able to give me advice on soapstone?
— quality, durability, looks?
— Dealers in Brooklyn or nearby?
Granite would be too busy and shiny for this kitchen and the slate color nice but I need to find out more and go to a showroom. Any suggestions would really be appreciated. Thank you.
I have a sandstone countertop in my kitchen and love it. The thing to be careful about, according to my kitchen designer is to make sure the surface is appropriate for use. Loveless Stone sandstone is sealed, honed, waxed, and burnished. I have no problem with stains, and I clean up with a damp rag.
Loveless Stone is an amazing company, and backs up all their installations!

Be very careful when considering Fireslate there is no customer service provided by the company. My story is exactly the same as the one descibed on http://www.fire-slate.com. Check it out, before you decide.

Look at places in College Point, Queens. They are wholesalers with competetive prices and large selections. We got our caesarstone countertops fabricated and installed by Swan Tile there. Very happy. Same upsides as granite with none of downsides (no fingerprints, no maitenance required). You do need to buff wet streaks out, though. We were going to get fireslate, but saw same negative web responses.
Uh, I googled Fireslate and also found this cautionary tale on this site:

Looks pretty nasty! The site explains the chemical reactions food and water and soap, etc have with the concrete in the Fireslate.
You might also look into Fireslate — see http://www.fireslate.com. We have this in our kitchen and bathroom. We love it, and it gets lots of comments. Good luck.
