Marble etches if you get lemon or lime juice on it. It can be buffed out but it requires work.

Yep and it scratches and chips easier though not all marbles are created equal. Carrara, the white marble with gray veining that most people are familiar with and is a popular look is really soft. I always tell my customers if you have a very active kitchen/are a messy cook/ aren’t the most meticulous at quickly cleaning up spills and messes it isn’t the material for you. It’s one of the reason the composite quartz products are so popular . You cans get a similar look with little upkeep and maintenance. Other types of marble or much harder and less prone to etching, staining, chipping.
