Who does Amazonite Quartzite sell to?

We supply importers, stone distributors, fabricators, quarries and project developers who buy Amazonite Quartzite in slabs, tiles or cut-to-size pieces. We work on the China side: the stone is bought from the mine, processed in Shuitou or Yunfu, inspected before loading and shipped FOB.

What is the minimum order quantity?

One mixed container for a first order. There is no per-piece minimum, and slab quantities can be split across a book-matched pair or an offcut depending on the job.

What thickness and finish are available?

Slabs are typically 18 mm and 20 mm, with 15 mm and 30 mm available. Common finishes are honed, polished, flamed, brushed, sandblasted and leathered. Tiles are produced in standard and large formats.

How long does production take?

Seven to fifteen working days after the deposit, depending on the form and finish. Cutting, edge profiling and surface treatment are the steps that set the pace, not the stone itself.

Which ports do you ship from?

Xiamen, Quanzhou, Ningbo and Shanghai. We quote FOB to the port you nominate and compare forwarders before booking.

Do you publish a price list?

No. Natural stone moves with the block, the grade, the finish and the market, so a number printed on a website is out of date by the time it is read. Send us the form, thickness, finish, size and quantity and we quote FOB in writing against that specification.

Can we get a sample before ordering?

Yes. We cut a sample from the same block as your order - an A4 hand sample, a book-matched pair or an offcut - and ship it by courier. There is no obligation to order afterwards.

Why We Quote Amazonite Quartzite Lot by Lot, and What That Means for Your Programme

Restricted quarry access and a stone with this much variation cannot honestly be sold off a catalogue reference.

Amazonite Quartzite slab, batch AMG30-19, 1990 x 1890 mm, muted green and grey with restrained teal patches

A buyer sending us a request for this stone usually wants a price per square metre and a delivery date. We can give both, but only against a specific lot, and the reason is worth explaining because it affects how you should plan.

The supply is restricted

This quartzite comes from a limited area in Paraiba in northern Brazil. It is not distributed the way the large warm white quartzites are, where material from several quarries can be blended into a consistent commercial product. Access is narrower and volumes in a single lot are smaller.

That has a straightforward consequence: two enquiries for the same thickness and size are not necessarily the same material, and a price that was true for one lot may not hold for the next one.

What quoting per lot actually gives you

When we quote, we are quoting slabs: this lot, this thickness, these sizes, this quantity. You get a real figure against material we can actually allocate, the physical data for that lot rather than a generic sheet, and a lead time measured from the day the lot is confirmed.

What it does not give you is a guarantee that the next lot will look identical. If your project needs a consistent appearance across a large run, tell us the area and we will say honestly whether one lot covers it or whether the design needs to accept variation. Sometimes it does, and saying so early is cheaper than finding out late.

How to plan around it

Three things help. Fix your form, thickness and quantity before asking for a price, because that is what determines the figure. Ask for the lot photograph and the physical data with the quotation, not afterwards. And where appearance across a large area matters, ask about book-matching across the whole set rather than slab by slab.

Lead time is 9-18 working days to FOB. The variability is in the stone, not in our scheduling, and we will tell you which lot your material is coming from before it ships.

Where this leaves a specification

Send a form, a thickness, a quantity and a destination and you will have an FOB quotation against a specific lot, usually within three working days, with no obligation on a first shipment.

Questions this article answers

Where does Amazonite Quartzite come from?

From the Paraiba region of northern Brazil. The supply comes from a restricted deposit, which is why it is quoted lot by lot rather than as a standing stock item, and why a run for a single installation is matched before anything is cut.

How is Amazonite Quartzite usually used?

As a statement surface: mitred waterfall islands, luxury kitchen and bar tops, book-matched feature walls, and small-format backsplashes. The strength of the colour is the reason it is specified in one place rather than throughout a room, and a waterfall is the application that shows the movement best because the mitre presents two faces at once.
