This polished quartzite is Botanic Crystal, also known as Fuchsite Crystal, in green with white, cut at 2 cm and quarried in Brazil. Lot 196 measures about 127″ × 79″, with 2 slabs available and 5 on hold at our Los Angeles yard.

This slab

The recorded size of a slab in this lot is 127″ × 79″, about 70 square feet. Thickness is 2 cm. The color on record is green with white. Natural stone still varies inside that description, so the slab itself is the reference for movement and shade. Botanic Crystal is also known as Fuchsite Crystal. Searching either name should lead to this same material. 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 196 at our Los Angeles yard shows 7 slabs in stock, 5 slabs 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 Fireplace and a Transitional 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 Botanic Crystal

Botanic Crystal is an exquisite green quartzite from Brazil, celebrated for its translucent seafoam to emerald palette. Also known as Fuchsite Crystal, its vibrant color is derived from chromium impurities within the mica. This stone offers a rare combination of marble-like elegance and the superior durability of quartzite, making it resistant to scratches and heat. Its unique translucent properties make it a premier choice for backlit feature walls, countertops, and luxury interiors. Interestingly, its namesake mineral, Fuchsite, is often called the Healer's Stone and was named after the 19th-century German mineralogist Johann Nepomuk von Fuchs.
