Marble
Known for its bold veining, marble is a natural stone that is both elegant and timeless. While it is unique and stunning, Marble is porous – allowing oils and stains to seep into the stone – and softer than granite or quartz, allowing scratches and chips. Marble is amazingly gorgeous, but research is recommended to ensure this is the suitable countertop surface for your space.
