On hand at our Los Angeles yard: 6 slabs of Diamante Verde, a 2 cm green quartzite from Brazil in a polished finish. Lot 1008078 measures about 129″ × 79″.

This slab

The recorded size of a slab in this lot is 129″ × 79″, about 71 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 1008078 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 an Accent Wall.

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 Diamante Verde

Diamante Verde is a rare and striking quartzite quarried from the diverse geological landscapes of Brazil. This natural stone is celebrated for its vivid, deep green coloration, often accented by a sophisticated network of white and gray veining that creates a sense of organic movement and depth. As a true quartzite, it offers exceptional durability, ranking high on the Mohs scale, which makes it remarkably resistant to heat, scratches, and acidic etching. Its name, which translates to Green Diamond, reflects both its brilliant luster when polished and its immense physical strength. Interestingly, its unique emerald-like hues are typically the result of specific mineral impurities, such as fuchsitic mica, captured during its metamorphic transformation from sandstone. This combination of jewel-toned aesthetics and rugged performance makes it a premier choice for luxury countertops and statement architectural features.
