        "text": "Marble offers a classic, luxurious aesthetic with unique veining patterns, providing a timeless look. However, it is a softer, more porous stone than granite or quartz, making it more susceptible to etching from acids and staining. Granite is harder and more stain-resistant, while quartz is engineered for high durability and consistency. A practical tradeoff is choosing between marble's natural beauty and the lower maintenance requirements of granite or quartz.",
