Soapstone, Limestone & Onyx in the Northland

Specialty Stones for Statement Pieces.

For farmhouse kitchens, accent walls, and backlit bar tops, we carry a rotating specialty selection of soapstone, limestone, and onyx alongside our core inventory.

Soapstone

Soft, matte, and naturally non-porous. Never needs sealing, and it darkens beautifully with age and mineral oil, a classic farmhouse choice.

Limestone

Warm and quietly elegant. Best suited to lower-traffic surfaces like fireplace surrounds, vanities, and accent walls rather than a busy kitchen counter.

Onyx

Dramatic and often translucent. A favorite for backlit bar features and statement accent pieces where the stone itself is the show.

Honest Guidance

The Right Stone for the Right Surface

Specialty stones reward the right application. We will tell you plainly where soapstone, limestone, or onyx will shine, and where a tougher material makes more sense.

These selections rotate with what comes through our inventory, since they are chosen in smaller quantities than our core granite and quartz stock. If you have a specific piece in mind, call ahead and we will have the right slabs pulled and ready when you visit.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why would I choose soapstone over granite?
Soapstone has a soft, matte look and is naturally non-porous, so it never needs sealing. It is a favorite for a warm, old-world farmhouse kitchen look, and it darkens gracefully with age and mineral oil.
Is limestone durable enough for a kitchen?
Limestone is softer and more porous than granite or quartzite, so it is better suited to lower-traffic applications like a fireplace surround, powder room vanity, or accent wall. We will give you honest guidance on where it fits.
What is onyx used for?
Onyx is a dramatic, often translucent stone typically used as a backlit feature, a bar top, or a striking accent piece rather than a full kitchen counter, given its softness.
Do you carry these in the showroom?
Yes, in more limited quantities than granite and quartz since they are specialty selections. Call ahead if you want to see a specific one, and we will make sure the right slabs are ready.
