It is also a natural product and can not be duplicated and it will look different on each countertop. Quartz is man made can be duplicated easily and does not need to be oiled, sealed etc.
Generally we push for quartz countertops for our clients
Stone type countertops are the latest fashion. Won't be long before something else replaces them. Not very practical for a woman who takes her kitchen seriously, but then who does any more.
