Avocatus Quartzite

Avocatus Quartzite History

Metamorphic activity millions of years ago turned sandstone into Avocatus Quartzite, infusing it with chromium and iron. The result offers dramatic veining and a rich, green color.

Technical Specifications

Like other genuine quartzites, Avocatus rates a Mohs hardness of 7, making it a highly durable natural stone surface. Quartzite’s interlocking structure offers low porosity, and we recommend regular resealing to make this already low-maintenance stone even easier to care for.

Finish Guide for Avocatus Quartzite

This natural stone works well with different finishing options:

• Polished: A high-gloss surface can highlight the black veining and white inclusions while making the deep color shine.
• Leather: Leathered quartzite is practical and helps hide fingerprints, making it perfect for everyday surfaces. The slightly matte surface can also enhance the stone’s leaf color.
• Honed: A honed finish creates a non-reflective surface with a more subtle, soft appearance.

Applications

Avocatus Quartzite is embraced by designers and architects seeking dramatic statement elements and architectural features for high-end projects. Its color variations range from a warm sage to an emerald, which can support surrounding cool tones. This makes this stone prized for:

• Countertops: Avocatus Quartzite countertops add a focal point to any kitchen. Durable and visually striking, these countertops complement both classic and contemporary kitchen designs. With proper care, Avocatus countertops can support daily use.
• Wall cladding: This stone can resemble a rainforest canopy, offering a strong accent wall in both business and residential spaces. Hotel lobbies, restaurant dining rooms, bathroom walls and living rooms can all look stunning with an earthy display. Bookmatched slabs, especially, can create mirror-image veining for extraordinary visual impact.
• Flooring: With proper care, honed or leathered Avocatus Quartzite can perform well in both commercial and residential settings.
• Bathrooms: For shower and bath surrounds and vanities, Avocatus Quartzite works especially well because of its visual interest and rich hue. Avocatus Quartzite bathrooms look beautiful with brass, stainless steel or matte black hardware.
