Soapstone is a natural material, meaning each slab may have unique characteristics, including color variations, veining, and minor surface irregularities. These traits contribute to its distinctive charm but are beyond our control. At Silex Interiors, we take care to select and finish each piece to our high standards, though natural variations between samples, displays, and installed pieces are expected. Additionally, soapstone may develop a patina or darken over time due to its unique composition, which does not affect its durability or function.
