Thassos White Marble for a Kitchen Counter?

I want to install a solid crystal white stone counter top in my kitchen. I found what I believe to be Thassos White Marble but was told by the sales person that this was called Mystery White and it wasn't a marble or a granite that know body knows.. some type of quartz stone. I was wondering if you have ever heard of this and is it a good product to install for a kitchen countertop? And is Thassos White marble a good kitchen counter top also? Please help I am in the middle of a kitchen renovation and can't seem to find anybody to help me with this question. Thank you
 

Dear Kimberly:

 

Mystery White and it wasn't a marble or a granite that know body knows..

 

Well now, if they'd know it wouldn't be a mystery no mo', would it?!... J

 

some type of quartz stone

 

No such animal. It is most likely manmade stuff so-called engineered stone, like Silestone and Zodiac. It's quartz powder mixed with epoxy resin.

Yes, it is a good product to use as a countertop.

 

And is Thassos White marble a good kitchen counter top also?

 

It could be. Providing, of course, that you only utilize your kitchen countertop as the holding place of the telephone that you use to make reservations or order take-outs!... If you do that, even alabaster would be just fine!... J
