Is this for the floor or counter or backsplash?

On the countertops or backsplash or on the floor?

LOL, pharoah and I posted the same words with 1 minute of each other :)

I guess a little clarity helps - for the countertops. I am hoping to go with very pale, neutral blue cabinetry. Initially I looked at the white marbles for a very cool temperature. Now I am thinking more creamy to give it a more antique warmth. Any suggestions? The botticino is very creamy. Is it too soft for a counter? I do a lot of cooking and have a slew of kids who are old enough to cook too.

Are you concerned about upkeep? staining and scratching? bring a sample home and see if it stains from your cooking habits.
as far as color goes, i would love it as a counter top..

I hate to burst your bubble, but this is not a good product for a countertop. It often has properties that are more like limestone than marble, which means that it is an incredibly pourous stone. I guess if it is what you want, and you don't mind a lot of maintanence, that is fine. However, I think you would be better off trying to find a granite that has similar coloring.

Thanks for the input Senator13. That was what I was afraid of. It feels softer than calacatta. Anyone have any good granite or quartzite suggestions that have a creamy, veiny appearance?

White Princess quartzite. $$$$ and not available in many parts of the country.

Look up mother of pearl quartzite.
