Vadara is highly durable and more resistant to surface damage than many other stone materials. However, like all stone, it is not immune to damage. No surface is completely chip-proof�impacts, especially around edges near sinks or dishwashers, can cause chips. While a minor knife slip will typically dull the knife rather than harm the surface, it's important to note that no stone surface is entirely scratch-proof.
