    For durability and stain resistance, you're better off with a harder material than marble such as granite or quartzite. :) Rhoda

    I always tell my customers you can put whatever material you want on a countertop--it just depends on how you use it and if you want it to look new or lived in. Most customers that want the look of white marble but the durability of granite go with the engineered quartz. There are many options by Silestone and Caesarstone that are white and some are even lightly veined like marble. Since marble is a softer stone and is prone to staining, scratching and etching, there really is no recommended marble for a high traffic area like a kitchen unless you have the surface honed.
