A Brazilian blue-green quartzite that reads as a statement surface rather than a background one. We buy <strong>Amazonite Quartzite</strong> by the lot, hold slabs at each grade, and match the veining across a run before anything is cut — then ship from whichever Chinese port serves your lane. One stone, and we control the whole path it takes to reach you.





Amazonite Quartzite comes from a restricted deposit, so we buy the lot and quote the lot. Two slabs from different lots can be visibly different in the depth of the turquoise and in the direction of the movement — both are correctly described as Amazonite Quartzite, and they still will not sit together on one wall. We send you the matched run, photographed side by side, before anything is cut. This stone is not bought by the square metre and it is not held in standing stock.
Buyers often ask us to remove the banding. We do not, because it is a geological feature of the stone rather than a flaw, and a slab with no movement in it is not this material. What we do is match the movement across a run so the veining flows across the whole surface. On a mitred waterfall the mitre shows two faces at once, which is why this stone is bought for that application rather than for a plain counter.
A high polish takes the turquoise and teal to their full depth and sharpens the veining; honed, the same slab goes soft and matte and shows fewer fingerprints. Neither is the correct finish — it depends on where the surface is and how warmly the room is lit. Tell us the location and the light, and we will tell you which one we would cut. Sample in person where you can: a photograph of a polished slab and a photograph of a honed one of the same stone are two different stones.
The stone is dense and low-porosity, which is why it resists staining and does not etch the way marble does. It still gets sealed once a year as ordinary maintenance. Clean with warm water and a mild, pH-neutral detergent, and avoid acidic or abrasive cleaners. If a slab is showing water marks, that is a sealing interval that has run out, not a defect in the stone.
