gernyshawn Cambria makes quartz countertop material. They make a pretty good looking marble lookalike called Torquay.

1981janine I just learned of a new product called "Clearstone." Essentially, it's a resin layer applied over the marble that prevents etching or staining. It's not a sealer. There's even a 15 year guarantee. The website is www.clearstoneusa.com. It's not inexpensive; however, it may be cheaper to have that applied to a carrara rather than using a quartz like Torquay. I'm planning to use it in my kitchen remodel, and I'm hopeful it gives me the best of both worlds- beauty of marble with the functional qualities of quartz!

Clearstone, LLC Clearstone allows you to use the pretty marbles and not have the acid-etching problems associated with marble. It's a clear coating thats poured on after installation. Safe to use in a kitchen. It also prevents staining. Don't know what the moisture problems you have reffered to could be. www.ClearstoneUSA.com
