See Marble - natural stone Thumbnails Limestone - natural stone Limestone is a very popular surface for use as a countertop in both the kitchen and bathroom. Limestone is petrified calcium carbonate, formed by a crystalization process that brings forth a myriad of colors within the substance. See Limestone - natural stone Thumbnails Glassos - manufactured glass Glassos crystallized glass is created by sintering select minerals and fusing the sintered crystals together through intense high temperature. Crystallized glass is as hard as granite and never requires sealing. Since the material has zero porosity, it will not stain and has resistance to abrasion and scratching.
