Alternative Stones

Alternative stones are those not classified geologically the same as other natural stones seen on our site. This includes basalt, soapstone, and sandstone, which are available in both tile and slab.
Basalt is solidified lava and appears primarily in a dark charcoal or black color. It does not react to acid and is very durable.
Soapstone is talc based, which means it is very soft. The stone scratches easily; however, the scratches can be sanded out. Soapstone is not chemically sensitive and radiates heat; it will not etch, stain, or burn. Although soapstone is soft, it is very dense, making it ideal for countertops. Soapstone also requires no sealing, but oiling is recommended to enhance color and keep it from drying out.
Sandstone is a very porous stone made up of feldspar and quartz. Because of wide variation in composition and color, sandstone is used for a number of applications, including walls, floors, bathrooms, sinks, and tabletops.
