Soapstone and countertop decisions

Kristen Hallock

I used Cambria in my last kitchen and I like that it took the guesswork out of natural stone. I found it intimidating to think about choosing a granite slab, and all the different kinds to choose from, and whether or not they were more likely to stain, etc...

I still wouldnt mind using Cambria again, but the price is worrying me. And the color I really like is a color my husband really does not like.

I've always liked soapstone and I want to maybe consider that but before I do I would like to figure out the average price per sq foot.

I also want to know what kind of soapstone I should be looking at. I want something that isnt really soft. I like the "classic" soapstone that is dark grey or black and I really do like the white veins running through it. I do not want green. What kinds should I be looking at?

Also, I live in Vermont and I know there are 2 companies up here. Green Mountain Soapstone and Vermont Soapstone. Has anyone used them? Will they have the kind of soapstone that I like?
