At Art of Marble, we explain that marble is a softer, more porous stone, highly prized for its luxurious look but more susceptible to etching from acids. Dolomite, while visually similar to marble with elegant veining, is naturally harder and less porous, offering enhanced resistance to etching and scratching. Limestone is generally the softest and most porous, valued for its unique earthy, often rustic aesthetic, and requires diligent sealing and care.
Yes, with the right understanding and proper care, all three stones can be beautiful and functional in a kitchen. While marble and limestone benchtops require diligent sealing and immediate spill cleanup due to their porosity, dolomite offers a more forgiving surface with enhanced durability. Our experts at Art of Marble can guide you in selecting the best stone for your lifestyle and usage.
