Marble is also softer and more reactive than granite, so it rewards homeowners who enjoy a surface that gains character with use.

Etching, Staining and Patina

Acids such as lemon juice, tomato and wine can etch polished marble, leaving dull spots. Sealer helps with stains but does not prevent etching. Many people embrace that patina; others prefer to limit marble to vanities or a baking area.

Honed marble shows etching less than polished marble, which makes it a popular choice for kitchens.
