Marble

Natural stone.
Stunning to look at.
The colors, veining, and overall look of marble is beautiful, and it has remained a classic counter for many, many years.
Best suited for use in bathrooms, low-volume kitchen, or other areas where it will not be exposed to a lot of spills or use that would cause it to chip.
Not as durable a material as many of the other counter varieties.
Require a bit more upkeep and care than other counters to keep it looking it's best.
