We had our kitchen and bathroom counters installed this week.  We chose Brazilian soapstone for the kitchen and Carrara marble for the three upstairs bathrooms.  The soapstone is black with some small and medium size white veining.  The cool thing about soapstone is that you will never see two kitchens that are exactly alike; the veining is unique to each bundle and depends on the minerals deposits in the slabs.  When the soapstone arrived at our house it was a dull grey.  The installers waxed it before they left and it turned a very dark black.  We will need to wax it once a year, but otherwise it is very easy to maintain.
