serpentine

A good choice for kitchen countertops. Ideal for foyers, bathrooms, floors and hearths.

Serpentine is often mistaken for marble, serpentine which is actually magnesium-silicate based as opposed to marble which is calcite based. As a result of the different mineralogy and whole rock chemistry of serpentine, it exhibits greater acid resistance and abrasion resistance than marble. These properties make serpentine a common choice for both kitchen counter and exterior application.
