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
