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.

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 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.

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.
