Dolomite Countertops

A Little History: From Ancient Origins to Modern Kitchens

Dolomite isn't just another trendy material. It’s been around since the 18th century, when a French geologist named Déodat Gratet de Dolomieu (yep, that’s where the name comes from!) first studied the stone in the Dolomite Alps of Italy.

What makes it unique? It’s composed mainly of calcium magnesium carbonate, giving it that beautiful soft white look with dramatic grey veining—very similar to marble—but with a bit more brawn.

Fun fact: Dolomite was often used in ancient European buildings for its durability and elegance. Now, it’s making a massive comeback in kitchens and baths for exactly the same reasons.

Dolomite vs. Marble vs. Granite – What’s the Difference?

When it comes to natural stone countertops, Dolomite sits right between marble and granite—offering the best of both worlds. Dolomite looks a lot like marble, with its elegant white and gray veining, but it’s harder and more resistant to etching and scratching, making it a more practical choice for kitchens and high-traffic areas. Marble is prized for its timeless beauty and dramatic veining, but it’s also one of the softest and most porous stones, meaning it stains and scratches more easily without frequent maintenance. Granite, on the other hand, is known for its exceptional durability and resistance to heat and stains, but it tends to have a grainier, more speckled appearance. So if you love the look of marble but want something a bit stronger and easier to care for, Dolomite is the perfect in-between choice—stylish, sturdy, and still entirely natural.

Why Dolomite is a Big Win for Homeowners

Dolomite delivers everything you're looking for in a natural stone countertop:

  • Looks like marble but holds up better under pressure

  • Stronger than marble, softer than granite—ideal for busy households

  • More affordable than you’d expect

  • Low maintenance with proper sealing

  • Unique natural patterns—your countertop will be one-of-a-kind
