This slab

The recorded size of a slab in this lot is 116″ × 75″, about 60 square feet. Thickness is 2 cm. The color on record is green with white and black. Natural stone still varies inside that description, so the slab itself is the reference for movement and shade.

The leather finish is lightly textured, with a softer look than a full polish. Two centimeters is a standard slab thickness for counters, vanities, and wall cladding.

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 Commercial Bar and a Kitchen.

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 Avocatus

Avocatus is a striking natural quartzite primarily quarried in Brazil, renowned for its intense and varied green palette. Its deep olive to lush mint tones are often dramatized by a high-contrast network of black veins and white quartz inclusions, evoking the dense, layered canopy of a tropical rainforest. As a true quartzite with a Mohs hardness of 7, it offers exceptional resistance to heat, scratches, and acidic etching, making it a premier choice for luxury kitchen islands and feature walls. Interestingly, the stone's unique avocado-green hue is derived from trace amounts of iron oxides and chromium-rich minerals like fuchsite trapped within its crystalline structure.
