Panda White marble kitchen countertops in Mokena, Illinois.

Panda White marble on the kitchen countertops, with a square edge, a full-height backsplash and waterfalls on the island.

Marble in a kitchen asks for a little care: it should be sealed, and acids like lemon, wine and tomato should be wiped up promptly, because they can etch a polished surface over time. A Mokena kitchen, in Will County.

Panda White is a marble quarried in China, named for its bright white base and the bold black bands that sweep across the slab in waves. The contrast is the point of the stone, so the layout decides where the strongest bands land. As a marble it is softer than quartzite and should be sealed.

Panda White marble: what to know

Marble is a natural stone, mostly calcite, prized for its veining and the way light moves through it. It is softer than quartzite or granite: lemon, wine and vinegar can leave dull marks called etches, and it develops a patina with use. Sealing helps with stains, though nothing stops etching entirely. Many people choose marble for exactly that lived-in character.

In a kitchen, marble asks for a choice: accept etching and patina as part of the look, or choose a honed finish so marks blend in.

Common questions
Is marble a good choice for a bathroom?

It is one of the best places for it. A bath sees less acid and wear than a kitchen, so marble keeps its look longer.

Will marble etch?

Yes. Lemon, wine and vinegar can leave dull marks on marble, especially on a polished finish. Sealing helps with stains but does not prevent etching.
