ALBERENE SOAPSTONE™

Schuyler, VA, USA

The only soapstone quarried in America! The unique rustic look and industrial style of ALBERENE SOAPSTONE^TMhave made it a popular choice since it first started being quarried back in 1883 in Virginia. Its unusual thermal properties and closely-packed structure make it perfect for large spaces, heated flooring, countertops, and fireplaces.

This stone is heat and acid resistant. It’s as tough as it gets!
