Oiling your soapstone

Did you know when you very first apply mineral oil to your soapstone, it will look green? But don’t fret, after a day or two, it will oxidize to the true darkness it was meant for. Here are a few examples on a PA Original slab. The area on the right was oiled 3 days prior to the rest of the slab. The the last photo shows what the whole slab looks after 3 days of mineral oil. 1 DAY COMPARED TO 3 DAYS OF OIL1 DAY COMPARED TO 3 DAYS OF OILPA ORIGINAL OILED

Who is Crocodile Rocks?

Did you know you can buy your own slab without having to deal with the middle man? And the prices are right on the slab! We sell directly to the public! We stock 1cm, 2cm & 3cm slabs, as well as different finishes i.e. honed, leathered & polished surfaces. If you want a different finish, we can change it for you (for an additional cost). We’ve been told that we’re a “secret” that the designers, contractors & fabricators keep from the public.
