Brilliant Black is a 2 cm black with silver and grey quartzite from Brazil, offered in a polished finish. Lot 42569 runs from 134″ × 78″ to 135″ × 79″, with 6 slabs available at our Los Angeles yard.

This slab

The recorded size of a slab in this lot is 134″ × 78″, about 73 square feet. Sizes across the lot run from 134″ × 78″ to 135″ × 79″. Thickness is 2 cm. The color on record is black with silver and grey. 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 42569 at our Los Angeles yard shows 6 slabs in stock, none on hold, and 6 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 Wet Bar and a Fireplace.

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 Brilliant Black

Brilliant Black is a sophisticated quartzite quarried in Brazil, characterized by its deep, intense charcoal to black background. This premium natural stone is celebrated for its fluid, silver-gray veining that mimics delicate brushstrokes or moving water, providing a dramatic yet elegant aesthetic. As a true quartzite, it offers exceptional hardness—rating a 7 on the Mohs scale—making it far more resistant to scratching and acid etching than marble. Its dense structure allows for a mirror-like, "brilliant" polish that enhances the stone's depth. Interestingly, while its beauty is often compared to marble, its durability is more akin to granite, making it a superior choice for high-use kitchen countertops and feature walls.
