This polished quartzite is Amazonite, in green, cut at 2 cm and quarried in Brazil. Lot 2 measures about 71″ × 48″, with 2 slabs available at our Los Angeles yard.

This slab

The recorded size of a slab in this lot is 71″ × 48″, about 24 square feet. Thickness is 2 cm. The color on record is green. Natural stone still varies inside that description, so the slab itself is the reference for movement and shade. This material is recorded as quarried in Brazil.

The polished finish is reflective and lets the color read clearly. Two centimeters is a standard slab thickness for counters, vanities, and wall cladding.

In the yard

Lot 2 at our Los Angeles yard shows 2 slabs in stock, none on hold, and 2 slabs available. Available means in stock minus slabs on hold.

The slabs can be compared in daylight at our Los Angeles yard before anything is cut.

Where it works

For this kind of stone, the usual applications are kitchen countertops, islands, and vanities. The right use still depends on the finish, the thickness, and how the slab will be cared for after it is installed. Inspiration photos show this stone in a Kitchen and a Bathroom Vanity.

The material

Quartzite begins as sandstone and is metamorphosed into a hard, quartz-rich stone. It is chosen for kitchens and islands when a project wants marble-like movement with more scratch and heat resistance than marble. Density and absorbency still vary by quarry, so sealing should be confirmed on the slab in front of you, not assumed from the name. Movement can change across one lot, which is why the pieces are best compared side by side in daylight.

About Amazonite

Amazonite is an exotic quartzite sourced from Brazil, known for its striking range of emerald, turquoise, and sea-glass green tones. The surface has a water-like quality, cut through with veins of taupe, white, and smoky charcoal. It's extremely hard — harder than marble — which makes it a practical pick for kitchens and outdoor facades that see heavy use.

Despite the name, it has no direct connection to the Amazon River. Historically, Amazonian warriors reportedly used the mineral to decorate their shields. The green coloring comes from trace amounts of lead and water locked inside the stone's crystalline structure.
