soapstone is so soft I would not recommend it for a  countertop. 
It's used commonly for  carving sculptures. I even broke a granite counter 
putting a phone handset  down once.


note that the grade of soapstone that is used for sculpture is VERY  
different from the grade that is used for counters !!
