Granite can have different finishes. A polished finish on the stone has a glossy surface that reflects light and emphasizes the color and marking of the material. A honed finish is a satin smooth surface with relatively little light reflection. There are also a variety of finishes that add texture to the stone such as leathered, antiqued and river washed. 

Marble with its inherent warmth,
adds a sophisticated element to the area in which it is installed.

A traditional use of soapstone was the laboratory table top in chemistry labs. That application alone should serve as a great testimonial to the chemical resistance of the materials.  Being of the softer variety of stone types, it it not known for particularly high abrasion or scratch resistance, yet they are both used as flooring and countertop products.

Soapstone is highly heat resistant, and has been used in fireplace surrounds frequently to take advantage of this property. Using mineral oil on soapstone gives it a rich appearance and helps in achieving its natural patina.

One of the appeals of quartzite is its hardness and durability. Not only does this make for a tough stone, but it also makes it easy to tell quartzite from the imposters.  Etching is caused by acids dissolving small areas on the surface of a slab of stone. While this process does not harm a stone, it does blemish the surface. One of the appeals of quartzite is that it does not etch from acids like lemon juice or vinegar.
