I've seen this done, and don't recommend it. When the glossy granite
gets wet, it's like walking on ice. I'd rather clean off the mud.

BEWARE of slate for the same reason. Slate after all is about one click
beyond oil , if it gets wet it can be very SLICK!!

Soapstone is an interesting surface which actually becomes less slippery when
wet. But I'd rather have it inside the house than outside. Assuming I could
afford it.
