My best assumption based on a conversation with EnviroSLAB's rep is min $100/sq ft... it is stunning I would agree, but WOW, that is expensive...... Does anyone have a suggestion for a green and inexpensive / reasonable priced, low maintance ( I promise I'm not on a quest for the Holy Grail here... LOL) Counter top? We are a builder producing green housing "Non Luxury"... Thanks for any response.

IceStone uses concrete as the base. IceStone is absolutely stunning in a countertop, but then there's the sealing/staining issue common in concrete (or granite, for that matter) to think about. EnviroSLAB doesn't have the amazing look of IceStone, but it is stain resistant and highly customizable. EnviroGlas uses epoxy resin in their countertop product (EnviroSLAB).
