It seems many designers/home owners are starting to favor lightweight concrete for countertops insteads of traditional marble, tile or solid-surface materials like Corian. As opposed to natural stone, concrete can be molded into various shapes with color and textural objects implanted while still possessing the mass you desire.
It's been around for a number of years. A leading proponent/designer has written a DIY book (Concrete Countertops: Design, Form, and Finishes for the New Kitchen and Bath by Fu-Tung Cheng, Eric Olsen). An architectural company in Santa Monica uses a product/process called Syndicrete; they've done this for awhile, but it's a little more difficult to locate more info on them.
