Answer: The short answer is yes, you can use marble in a kitchen. However, because marble is susceptible to staining, scratching and etching, the use of marble in a kitchen requires careful consideration.

We do not recommend the use of marble as kitchen counters because marbles (and limestone and travertine) are calcium carbonate, and their polished surface is more vulnerable to household acids including vinegar, mustard, catsup, citrus and a host of other food-related products. These acidic substances cause a chemical reaction, which will remove the polish. Additionally, marble and limestone can be scratched more easily than harder stones such as granite.

Marble is typically used for bathroom vanity tops, Jacuzzi tops and fireplaces. It could be used in the kitchen but due to the fact that it is easy to scratch and is acidic sensitive (i.e. ketchups, mustards, vinegars, etc.), we don't usually recommend it. Granite, however, is the second hardest stone next to diamonds, its polish is not subject to etching by household acids, scratching by knives, and could take a hot pots and pans.

Although both are stones and both are quarried from the earth. Marble's relatives (limestone, onyx and travertine) are very different from each other. The marble family starts out as sediment ? animal skeletons and shells, plant matter, silt ? at the bottom of bodies of water. After millions of years this solidifies (lithifies) into stone.
