Acid Sensitivity
Australis Marble is a type of marble that contains the mineral calcite, which is a form of calcium carbonate. Calcium carbonate is sensitive to acids, which means that Australis Marble can be damaged or etched by acidic substances.Acid sensitivity in Australis Marble is primarily due to the reaction between the acid and the calcium carbonate in the marble. When acidic substances come into contact with Australis Marble, they can react with the calcium carbonate, causing it to break down and dissolve. This can result in permanent damage to the marble, including etching, discoloration, and deterioration of the surface.

Is Australis Marble good for kitchen countertop?

Australis Marble is not typically recommended for kitchen countertops because it is a softer and more porous stone than other options, such as granite or quartz. This makes it more prone to scratching, staining, and etching from acidic substances. Additionally, it is not as heat-resistant as other materials, which could lead to damage from hot pans or dishes. It is better suited for use in bathroom vanities, fireplace surrounds, or accent pieces in a kitchen rather than as a functional kitchen countertop.
