Marble vs Granite

 Hey everyone out there in computer land. We  have a upcoming job involving marble. Both Marble and Granite are excelent materials for your counters. But there are factors to consider before chosing. Marble tends to be a much softer material. So if you use your're kitchen as much as I do there is a scratch factor. Being a softer stone also makes it easier to repair those pesky scratches. Then again unless prepping food dirctly on the surface or dragging stock pots full soup across it, you shouldn't have any problems. Now for the granite. My favorite. Both are durable, but granite tends to be a much harder stone. Short of the stock pot scenario, it's dificult to scratch. Don't use use your knives on it unless you plan on sharpening them between each use. Plus there is the scratch factor. For you bakers out there, both are awesome. There's nothing better than a slab of stone to roll out that pie crust. Well enough for now. Time for me to go cut some stone.
