Nearly white with a faint yellow cast, the crystal quartz here is cut into irregular pieces that are joined by hand with fine, discreet seams. Quartz Lemon Light is the palest option, close to milk glass in tone; Quartz Lemon Dark adds creamier pieces and more striped crystals, which turn into distinct golden bands once the slab is backlit.

Both versions are translucent, and lighting from behind is where this stone changes most. That suits backlit walls, bar fronts, reception desks and vanity panels in spaces that call for gentle, warm light. On thickness, 2 cm is standard and 0.6 to 4 cm is possible; on size, anything up to 320 x 190 cm can be made to order. Regular care means a damp cloth and a pH-neutral cleaner, without scouring products. Modul Marble handles ordering.
