Slate
Slate is considered a high quality kitchen and bathroom countertop surface. Similar to soapstone, it is much more resistant to staining than marble and granite. When using the best slate, there is no need to seal this surface. While most slate is dark gray or black, there is significant variation in terms of color, with red, green, blue and purple varieties available. Slate can be maintained with a gentle detergent, but a light coating of food grade mineral oil should be applied directly after installation to keep it in top condition.
