Hello Libby, and thank you for the compliments.

The island counter-top is quartzite called Aria. We sourced at at Hari Stones in Edmonton, (https://www.haristoneslimited.com/)

I understand your concern with trying to go with white-on-white. I looked at quite a few stones in this warehouse, and some made my Grimslov sample look yellow because the stone was too warm; some made it look "dirty" because they pulled out grey tones in Grimslov. However, when I put my sample against Aria quartzite, it turned clean, white and bright. Aria has grey tones that nicely contrasted the Grimslov.

Hope this helps, good luck with the reno!
