Old Dominion Soapstone
United States
(Schuyler, Church Hill, Richmond, Virginia)
Old Dominion Soapstone, also known as Alberene Soapstone, stands as the signature stone of Alberene. Distinctive for its unique features, this soapstone exhibits prevalent veins of quartzite, calcite, and talc, creating an intriguing visual texture. Dark mineral dots, referred to as "nailheads," punctuate the background, enhancing the stone's character.
In its natural state, Old Dominion Soapstone displays a subtle blue-grey tonality, which transforms into a bold and deep black when enhanced. The stone showcases a varying amount of thin to medium-width white or cream veining, with movement ranging from subtle to pronounced, adding dynamism to its appearance.
Quarried in Schuyler, Church Hill, Richmond, Virginia, Old Dominion Soapstone boasts a dense, homogenous, and close-grained mineral structure. This inherent quality makes the stone naturally stain-resistant, unaffected by acidic solutions, and impervious to etching. With its unique aesthetic and practical durability, Old Dominion Soapstone is a remarkable choice for a variety of applications.
