Hi. First off I love the space and the design with the black gold and STUNNING flooring. I wanna day that I think the counter you chose is very gray. Right? What about the same or similar style but more to the whiter side. Meaning less of the gray vaining

I love the way this slab looks with your cabs and hardware.

The countertop color is a bit creamy and not as gray as it looks.

Here is another example - not the slab we are looking at but the lighting is better so this more accurately reflects the slab we are looking at.

I like it.

I can't remember the name of this one. it's a blue gray. Argento Gray maybe?

Cielo Quartzite

White Macaubas

Have you considered porcelain? I just saw these two at my stone place. Infinity porcelain slabs

I think this one is real, the name follows the picture

Beth, I like the White Macaubas (and also White Calcacatta, which is similar). The slabs that I've seen are very white and I am concerned they are more marble than quartzite.

I really like the blue-gray one, but it may be a bit darker than we'd like. We might consider something like that for our island and then do something light (plain white quartz or porcelain) for the perimeter.

We ruled out porcelain because the slabs are not wide enough for our island (68”x110”) and we don't want a seem.

dsp,,,there are no 'partial marble/quartzite slabs". it's either quartzite, or it's not. there's no combo. true macaubas is a quartzite.

there is a Calacatta Macaubas, but I don't know if it tests the same as a White Macaubas

I love white macaubas, but isn’t it the one that several people on here have had the problem with the adhesive bleed around sink areas? Might want to search on that.
Mine is called Opus White but may be grayer than you want.

Perhaps Taj Mahal quartzite

my slab of Opus White

opus white is another name for Infinity quartzite

These are Mont Blanc, and also resembles the opus white.(and it being a true quartzite is questionable. ) It is a beautiful stone though. but prob not quartzite.

White Macaubas. true quartzite. as more linear veining

and I guess there is also a Calacatta macaubas.

Beautiful choices- go with it.

Opus White is definitely a true quartzite (responding to Beth’s original comment). Mine has been absolutely bulletproof.

Ephma. correct. the other name for opus is Infinity quartzite. yes, it's a real quartzite.

Beth H. Right. I originally saw your comment in my email saying that Opus White was another name for Mont Blanc. It’s definitely the real deal, I’ve lived with it. ;) That’s why i often recommend it for people looking for a quartzite, because I haven’t found a way to ruin it yet.

oh sorry, I went back and corrected that. the pic I had of mont blanc looked like opus, but actually Infinity was the other name for opus and I subbed that one instead of mont blanc!. sorry for the confusion! I love the Infinity/opus. it's a beautiful stone!
