Hi Sarah - have you been to Ciot? They carry at least one other kind of quartzite, quartzite bianca. I haven't heard of iceberg quartzite, but all the stones seem to have a least three different names. What does it look like? I have seen quartzite slabs at Ciot in both Toronto and Montreal. There are a few white granites out there, particularly if you don't mind specks.

Do a search on google for gardenweb and white counters - there are plenty of threads on this exact topic. Search for iceberg quartzite as well, but it doesn't ring a bell.

Thanks for the info !
I will check out CIOT, we have one in Oakville close to my work.
Iceberg looks like ice ! It is white, with alot of depth & mica crystals. It's beautiful, I just don't know if it's delicate to scratches or staining.
I searched on GW & google & nothing comes up.
We've also seen Bianco Antico & Super White - very nice but too grey. Alaska White is very speckled & I'm not luvn it.
I just found a discussion thread on GW re white on white kitchens ...

:)

I have chosen Madre Perla, which is a creamy taupey grey quartzite.

Sbd - We used supreme white quartzite for our island. The first time my husband saw it he said it looked liked icebergs viewed from the sky. It was much more chunky/less gray swirly than other supreme or super white slabs we had seen. Below is a link to some photos of our island when it was on the truck. There is more contrast (whites whiter and gray not as muddy) in real life versus the photos from the dark truck but you can see the chunks that give it that iceberg look. We saw several slabs that were basically gray or a light swirly white and gray, this one was really different.

It is honed and everyone thinks it is marble. It was sealed and so far, after a few weeks, it seems very durable. I have even stopped babying it :)

Good luck on your search and enjoy all that beautiful stone.

How did the project come out? Fell in love with iceberg myself. The supplier wouldn’t sell it to us for kitchen
