My wife wants a soapstone sink, and soapstone counters, but I think they are too dark.  Our kitchen designer has soapstone in her kitchen and says she wouldn't do it again, too much maintenance with oiling every so often, also sink itself is bit fragile.  So, my wife is looking at other stuff.  We looked at slate counters, meh, latest is stone from Ashfield Mass (near Shelburne Falls) which is schist (solidified ancient mud?).  Some of it is soapstone like (predominantly gray tone), but some is gorgeous, especially the Starry Night stuff (swirling colors like Van Gogh painting) or Crowsfoot (looks like bird walked all over it).  Search for Ashfield Stone and you'll see what some of it looks like.  We went to showroom, the real-life blocks are so much more vivid and colorful than the pictures.  Too bad my wife is more conservative in taste than me, I'd get that wild stone in a heartbeat (although it is expensive).  Or, if we do go on more conservative side, I'm going to get a sample to make a small table.
