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

For use in sinks and countertops a sealer is applied to Soapstone. This
sealer must be renewed every month.

The advantage of using this particular stone is that it is impervious to
chemicals, such as acids, and to heat, making it safe to use around kitchen
stoves, bunsen burnersin labs, etc.
Some harder stones will dissolve when exposed to acids, or lose their
structure and begin crumbling to dust when exposed to heat
