Tony-The stone is really grey-There is no color loss-soapstone is extremely dense and all treatments to it sit on the surface. It can fade in a short time if it isnt  maintained with mineral oil. When you restore it it will look like a million bucks-really the mineral oil will act like a exaggerated color enhancer. After you deal with the scratches or wear(just do light honing) just rub some mineral oil on it and buff the heck out of it to remove any residues. The mineral oil will cover up any scratches you may have missed.
Some folks put bees wax on top of the mineral oil as well.
When you go to the drug store to purchase the oil-make sure you get pure mineral oil as some have other products combined. Some people drink this stuff to lubricate their intestinal tract from top to bottom.
So if you have any leftover(one pint goes a long way)you could leave it with your customer or do a few shots on the way home.

Hi Everyone,

 

Didn't know if anyone saw these pictures.  

 

Hi ,

What would cause an onyx green iron soap stone to fade in some wet areas? Could it have been dyed?

Also a small one inch area on the edge, under the faucet is deteriorating. Is it okay to use a stone dye

And epoxy the damaged area.

Thanks for any info.
