Natural stone is a product of nature, which means it is subject to endless variations. Characteristics such as veining and mineral deposits will affect each piece. Stone will not only vary from quarry to quarry but also from stone to stone. All natural stone is unique and no two stones are alike. This is one of the most desirable characteristics of natural stone.

Thankfully, our quartz, marble, and granite countertops don't require too much special care. According to The Spruce, quartz countertops are completely waterproof and won't need sealing. Be sure to apply a stone sealer to your granite countertop if needed and clean your stone regularly. Don't use acidic or abrasive cleaners.

This is one of the most frequently asked questions. This answer varies. Stone is usually quoted by the square foot and the cost depends on a number of things, including:
