MSI Q Soapstone Metropolis Quartz

Gray quartz with subtle veining

Soapstone Metropolis is a slate-gray quartz with long, thin white veins drawn diagonally across it, a take on honed soapstone. It is offered polished or in a concrete finish, which gives a soft, matte hand that is closer to real soapstone. The dark gray works with white, light oak, or sage cabinets, and with brass, copper, or black hardware. Consider it for farmhouse and modern kitchens, bar areas, and bath vanities that want a darker, calm surface.

What Pairs With Soapstone Metropolis

  • Cabinets - White, light oak or sage cabinets; sage in particular suits the traditional soapstone feel of the slab.
  • Hardware and fixtures - Brass, copper or black hardware; unlacquered brass and copper age naturally alongside the soapstone look.
  • Backsplash - A white handmade subway or a creamy zellige, which balances the slate-gray counter and its white veins.
  • Floors or walls - Wide-plank oak or a terracotta floor in a farmhouse kitchen; walls in a warm white.

Where MSI Q Soapstone Metropolis Works Best

Soapstone Metropolis gives farmhouse and modern kitchens, bar areas and vanities the look of honed soapstone without oiling: a slate-gray field with long, thin white veins drawn diagonally. The concrete finish is the one to choose if you want the soft, matte hand of real soapstone. Dark matte surfaces do show oily fingerprints, so expect to wipe often near the stove.

Soapstone Metropolis Compared With Similar Quartz

Soapstone Mist is its lighter sibling, a dove-gray field with long, faint white veins. Silestone Charcoal Soapstone, from another brand in our catalog, has a deeper blue-gray charcoal base. Metropolis sits in slate gray with diagonal white veins.

MSI Q Soapstone Metropolis FAQs

No. It is a quartz surface modeled on honed soapstone, so it does not need the oiling that natural soapstone uses to even out its color. Clean it as you would any quartz, with mild soap and water, and avoid harsh abrasives.

The concrete finish gives a soft, matte hand that is closer to real soapstone. The polished version has more sheen and makes the slate gray look slightly deeper. Both come in 2cm and 3cm, so choose by feel and appearance.
