Virginia Mist granite is quarried here in America. The quarry is located near Culpeper, Virgina.
Virginia Mist looks a lot like
Soapstone. Over the years I've done quite a few jobs where the customer originally wanted Soapstone, but then ended up wanting less maintenance or Soapstone was out of their budget. They ended up using Virginia Mist instead and I haven't heard a complaint from any of them!
When the Virginia Mist has a
honed finish it especially looks like Soapstone.
Virginia Mist is also commonly called Jet Mist. Other names also include: American Black, Virginia Black and Virgin Mist.
Virginia Mist is a really dense granite, so it does well in outdoor applications such as cladding, pavers, and outdoor kitchens.
Virginia Mist is a color that goes really well with the
white marbles that are so popular (as you can see in the photo below). It's a great look to use Virginia Mist on a kitchen perimeter and then
Carrara or
Calacatta marble on the island.
Virginia Mist is available in 2 cm and 3 cm slabs.
