"soft" quartzite counters etch?

8 years ago

Finalizing countertop selection for our remodel. I have always loved the look of marble, but with two small kids the upkeep isn't something I want to worry about. Thought I found a solution in quartzite but per the fabricator some are softer than others. does anyone have experience with some of the "softer" quartzites? The sample of mont blanc I have seems to hold up very well but I don't love it. One of the softer pieces I have is brazilian michelangelo. It has more veining like marble but seems to etch more easily...although some of the "stains" seem to go away a few hours later. HELP!!
