All the stone you could ever want. When it comes to choosing the right material for your kitchen counters—or bathroom vanities, for that matter—it's not just which stone is fancier or which is the cheapest: there are a lot of implications with each choice. But it usually comes down to the three big rocks: quartz, marble, granite.

Granite
Granite is what's called an intrusive igneous rock: it's basically lava, which is pretty badass. It's hard, durable, heat- resistant and you can even stain it if you want to make it look really fancy. It’s a material that’s super resistant to scratches and abrasions. With granite, you’ll usually have fewer options in terms of look and it's easier to chip off corners of the slab.

Quartz
Although quartz is a natural mineral, the quartz in countertops is a manufactured stone. It’s a harder material than granite and not porous which makes it much more durable. It's also easy to clean. However, quartz can be damaged by heat so don't go placing your hot pans directly on it. It also tends to be more expensive than granite.
Popular options: Light beige quartz — grey quartz — tan quartz

Marble
Most people expect marble to be the most expensive material—and it definitely can be—but it’s not necessarily the case. Marble is a metamorphic rock, which means a rock (in this case limestone) that has transformed over time due to immense pressure or heat. Marble looks stunning, like you're the master of an ancient Roman villa. But it's also high maintenance, like an ancient Roman villa.
But it sure looks gorgeous.
