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No. Natural stone moves with the block, the grade, the finish and the market, so a number printed on a website is out of date by the time it is read.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.

Sealing and Care for Amazonite Quartzite

What the stone needs, what it does not, and the one habit that decides whether the colour stays as deep.

Care advice for a natural stone is mostly sensible and mostly repeated. The parts that matter for this one are specific enough to be worth writing down, and one of them is about habit rather than product.

Sealing is required, not optional

At roughly 0.30% water absorption this is a low-absorption stone, but it is not non-porous, and anyone who says a natural quartzite needs no sealer is overselling it. Low absorption means sealing is simpler and less frequent, not that it can be skipped.

Sealing matters more here than it would for a pale stone for a practical reason: the colour is held in the material rather than on it, and an unsealed surface lets moisture in and dulls the depth that makes this stone worth specifying. If a fabricator proposes skipping the sealer on a honed or leathered finish, that is the wrong call.

The habit that decides how it ages

Acid does not etch this stone the way it etches marble, which is genuinely one of its advantages. What degrades instead is the sealer, and what damages the surface is mechanical: scouring pads, steel wool, and grit dragged across a polished finish. Once a scratch is in a polish it stays.

So the rule is simple. Wipe spills promptly rather than scrubbing them later, keep grit off the surface, and use a soft cloth with mild soap and water. Products that need aggressive scrubbing to work on stone are the wrong products for stone.

Frequency, and the water test

For a residential installation in normal use, resealing on a schedule set with your fabricator is more useful than a universal rule. Intensity of use matters more than the stone does: a bar top that is cleaned several times a day wears differently from a feature wall nobody touches.

To know where you stand, put a few drops of water on the finished surface and leave them. If the stone darkens where the water sat, it is time to seal. If it beads, it is not. Do it in a couple of places and on the installed surface rather than a sample; it takes thirty seconds and it tells you about your installation rather than about the stone in general.

Where this leaves a specification

Tell us the finish and where the stone is going and we will say what preparation that installation needs. Technical data and care instructions go out with the shipment, and they list what not to use rather than everything that is acceptable.

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.
