We do not recommend using marble for kitchen countertops. Marble is not recommended for use in the kitchen because of its tendency to stain and scratch. Natural marble is also very susceptible to acidic substances, like lemon juice and vinegar, and oil. If you love the look of Marble, but actually want to cook in your kitchen, there are many man-made Quartz countertops and solid surface countertops available that look just like the real thing. Natural marble, because of its beauty and timeless look, is an excellent choice for vanities, wet bars, and fireplaces.
