Not sure what my counter top is, but have to clean it with solid stone cleaner. It is black so shows everything. It is beautiful, but have to use the cleaner and micro-cloth so it doesn't streak. If you really like to do housework, it would be fine, but I have many other things I would rather do. The bathroom has the same top, but in "mottled" brown so does not streak. Have S.S. sinks ( in kitchen) and really like them. They are deep so can fit about any size pan in them.
