That Silstone counter sure looks awesome.

Silstone is rapidly overtaking granite in popularity as the material of choice for kitchen counter-tops.  Silestone is made out of natural quartz, and quartz is 4th hardest mineral in nature.  These counter tops are extremely durable, and resist heat damage, scratches and staining.

Silestone is also non-porous, which means it does not need sealing or maintenance like granite, marble or limestone.
