Aurora Blue quartzite is one of a kind in looks. It's soft veining and light contrast in colors really makes it stand out!
Understanding Quartzite
It’s more durable than granite. The two are both natural stones, both are hard, and both are very beautiful, but you have to look a little deeper to see if one is a better fit for you than the other. Both are formed deep within the earth from heat and pressure, so both stones are hard and sturdy. At a 7 on the Mohs Hardness Scale, quartzite is actually harder than granite. It’s harder than all the other popular stones used in countertops.
Many people love the look of quartzite because some types can look very much like marble. Another difference between the two stones is the fact that most quartzite is denser and less porous than granite so some people don’t even seal the stone at all.
Quartzite and quartz are two very different materials. Quartzite is a natural metamorphic stone formed when sand is heated and compressed within the earth. Quartz contains pieces of ground quartz combined with resin and polymers to create a man-made material that’s pretty and strong.
Quartzite may seem expensive. However, it can be less expensive than most marble. When comparing the price to either granite or quartz, you’ll find they fall in a similar range. Generally, the more ‘exotic’ i.e. rare, the higher the price. Quartzites that look like marble can fetch higher prices because of demand.
We hope you personally check out our beautiful quartzite selection!

“Compelling.” That’s how one of our judges characterized this stair, which manages to embody both reassuring solidity and airy weightlessness. Architect Mahdad Saniee specified beefy maple treads—each laminated from two boards, to resist twisting and cupping—and supported them at the wall with hidden steel hangers. “We wanted to make them look like they are floating,” he says, “so they sit away from the wall by about half an inch.” The stainless steel rods that seem to pierce the treads’ opposite ends are, in fact, joined by threaded couplings hidden within the thickness of the wood. The result is an assembly whose stiffness underfoot defies expectation, Saniee says. “It feels very solid, much more solid than average stairs.” With the rods working in tension from above and compression below, “it’s very hard for those pieces of wood to move.”
The interplay of wood and steel makes abstract reference to a Steinway concert grand, Saniee notes. “It’s taking elements of a piano and playing with them.” A gently curved soffit in the ceiling reinforces the visual rhyme. The jury admired the effect but was equally impressed with the technical acumen required to achieve it. “The rhythm established by the vertical rods sets up a rigorous discipline that works with the intricacies of stair dimensions,” observed one judge. “That’s really hard to do.”

Located above the coast of Malibu, this two-story concrete and glass home is organized into a series of bands that hug the hillside and a central circulation spine. Living spaces are compressed between the retaining walls that hold back the earth and a series of glass facades facing the ocean and Santa Monica Bay. The name of the project stems from the physical and psychological protection provided by wearing reflective sunglasses. On the house the “glasses” allow for panoramic views of the ocean while also reflecting the landscape back onto the exterior face of the building.

Troia Light Travertine develops its warm cream and amber tonality across millions of years of sedimentary compression. Cut into a two-piece freestanding pedestal sink — a soft rectangular basin set above a cylindrical column — the geometry is resolved with quiet architectural authority. The honed, partially filled surface leaves authentic textures intact for an earthy, tactile depth, allowing the stone's inherent tonal variance to read as material fact rather than decoration. At 33.5 inches in overall height, this monolithic natural stone fixture occupies a freestanding installation with a visual weight that commands minimalist interiors.
Architectural Specifications:
• Material: Premium Troia Light Travertine from Turkey
• Form: Two-piece freestanding pedestal sink (soft square basin + cylindrical column)
• Dimensions: 15" Width x 16" Depth x 33.5" Overall Height
• Configuration: 1 Faucet Hole (Designed for a single-hole deck-mount faucet)
• Installation: Freestanding / Floor-mount
• Finish: Honed and Partially Filled (Matte surface balancing usability with organic texture)
• Drain: Compatible with standard 1.5" (4 cm) drain fittings (no overflow)
• Design Language: Classic silhouette, Earthy luxury, Monolithic presence`
