Cold Spring Granite
See the "Countertops" section. This site notes that "Granite is second only to diamonds in hardness. It is simply the best work surface available. Its polished finish won’t wear off. Unlike marble, synthetic and laminate countertops, granite will not blister, scratch or crack; and it is highly stain resistant."
