Vermont Soapstone

Looking for Vermont Soapstone?

Vermont soapstone has a rich and enduring history dating back to the mid-18th century. For generations, Vermont was regarded as one of the finest sources of soapstone in the United States. Vermont had numerous soapstone quarries operating throughout Vermont and New England.

Historically, Vermont soapstone was valued for its ability to retain and radiate heat, such as, wood stoves, griddles, boot dryers, bed warmers, and foot warmers. Over time, its durability, smooth texture, and natural beauty led to widespread use in soapstone countertops, sinks, fireplaces, and other architectural applications in homes.

Vermont Soapstone Today

Unfortunately, all soapstone quarries in Vermont have since closed, and soapstone is no longer quarried in the state.

However, Green Mountain Soapstone, a third-generation, family-owned company, continues Vermont’s soapstone legacy. The company is based on 20 acres in the scenic Green Mountains of Castleton, Vermont. Although their original U.S. quarry is no longer active, Green Mountain Soapstone has remained deeply committed to the craft.

Drawing on decades of expertise, they acquired one of the finest soapstone quarries in Brazil, allowing them to continue producing high-quality soapstone. Today, Green Mountain Soapstone is one of the largest soapstone suppliers in North America, and their imported soapstone remains among the most sought-after varieties in the country.
