Honed Pietra Cardosa countertops. Every designer has a personal favorite countertop material; Pietra Cardosa is mine. Pietra Cardosa is a type of natural stone called a schist — a coarse-grained metamorphic rock formed from layers of different minerals. Its beauty is not exactly maintenance free; it does require sealing about once a year to keep it looking pristine. I’m willing to take on the upkeep, because I think it’s a stunning material. Tip: Want the look of stone but prefer a zero-maintenance material? Check out the many options for engineered quartz countertops.
