Toxicity of Rainforest Green/Brown

   Hi. I've been reading the archives of this forum and have learned a lot. Odd question though: I was googling "rainforest" and saw one fabricator (or maybe it was a designer) who mentioned that rainforest has toxic minerals such as cobalt in it. They are in very small quantities, but they decided not to use it for this reason in a kitchen. Is there anything to this?

Other than that, the impression I get is that the rainforest (serpentinite) won't scratch (?) and isn't as easy to stain as marble. We would really like to use it in a kitchen, but would rather find out now if there is something I am getting wrong about this stone.

Thanks for any comments!
