    Hello Beth, it seems to be Neolith Calacatta. The products of Sintered Stone, like Neolith, will give you a durable solution and with less need of supervision than the quartz or natural stones. The sintering process eliminates almost 100% porosity, as in the case of Neolith, this brings benefits such as non-staining, non-scratch, abrasion resistant surfaces.

    The main advantages that Neolith provides, compared with natural stone, granite or quartz are:

    HYGIENIC - It does not give off any harmful substances and is totally suitable for contact with food. NSF Certifate.

    RESISTANT TO BENDING - It has a high shear rate, making it resistant to heavy loads and pressure.

    RESISTANT TO SCRATCHES - Its hard surface makes it resistant to scratches and abrasion.

    EASY TO CLEAN - Resistant to any kind of chemical cleaning agent such as bleach or ammonia.

    RESISTANT TO UV RAYS - Being 100% natural, its colors do not fade away when being exposed to sun light or other extreme weather conditions.

    RESISTANT TO HIGHT TEMPERATURES - It does not burn in contact with fire nor does it emit smoke or toxic substances when subjected to high temperatures.

    100% NATURAL - It does not give off any substances that are harmful to the environment.

    RESISTANT TO ICE AND THAW - Neolith does not suffer any changes when exposed to low temperatures.

    WATERPROOF - Waterproof and resistant to liquids, with an absorption level of almost zero.

    100% RECYCLABLE - Up to 52% of any Neolith slab is composed of recycled raw materials.

    For furniture and interior cladding, using 3 mm is recommended; for flooring (interior and exterior) and exterior applications (like ventilated façades), 6 mm is recommended; whereas 12 and 20 mm is reserved for more demanding product uses such as for kitchen worktops.
