What specific type of soapstone was used here?

9 years ago

Does it have any green in it? We'd really like to use a veiny soapstone in our kitchen but would like it to not have any green in it. Any recommendations?

Thanks!

This is Brazilian Barroca soapstone - it's light grey naturally then darkens to black/charcoal with mineral oil. Veining is typically white, or cream. On occasion some green tones will be present (but it's not common).
