That oil just ruined the color of the stone! This is why I would not put soapstone in a active kitchen that I plan on staying in for a lifetime. For a house you flip, maybe its fine, but not if you like what you put in to remain the same. Looking for a stone that is a light gray is not easy, so its either concrete, or maybe slate? but slate chips. So a granite that is honed maybe possible. But soapstone will change just by touching over time, that area gets a polished look, like in front of the sink. So you are forced to use mineral oil if you want it to look consistent.
many people love the grain she was speaking of, which is definitely enhanced by oiling the stone. It's the classic look, so I wouldn't call it "ruining" the color by any means. It apparently is just not for you.
@@jerrytanenbaum2374 You are right...Only IF you purchase the soapstone in order to transition into the polished look. Like you said, I much prefer the muted matte look. Shiny was never my thing :-)
@@philindeblanc Finding soapstone this light in color, light grey is phenomenal. Usually the "normal" soapstone is a little darker even the light soapstone is a little darker. This lightness just brings out a much higher feeling than the medium gray which I also love but this is just exquisite. Better phrased, it's unusual in color and I just love the color.

The color of this soapstone is absolutely elegant. I wonder where she purchased this exact soapstone???
