Quoted text begins.I have used solvent based dyes to color many types of stones ranging
from alabaster to sandstone. The alabaster, soapstone and marble were
easy as they are semi-porous and therefore took the dyes very well.

I thought that soapstone was impervious and that's why they use it for
lab sinks and countertops.
