On hand at our Los Angeles yard: 5 slabs of Donatello, a 2 cm grey with silver dolomite from Brazil in a polished finish. Lot 2043 measures about 126″ × 80″.

This slab

The recorded size of a slab in this lot is 126″ × 80″, about 70 square feet. Thickness is 2 cm. The color on record is grey with silver. 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 2043 at our Los Angeles yard shows 5 slabs in stock, none on hold, and 5 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 bathrooms, vanities, and light-use counters. 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 Transitional Kitchen and a Modern Bathroom.

The material

Dolomite is a carbonate stone. In the showroom it is often grouped with marble, and many bright white names are dolomite rather than calcite marble. It is generally a little harder than calcite marble, but it can still etch, so care is closer to marble than to granite. Judge movement and brightness from the slab, not from the name alone.

About Donatello

Donatello is a sophisticated dolomite quarried in Brazil, also known as Melting Snow or Donatello Grey. This natural stone is defined by a serene landscape of light to dark gray waves, punctuated by white and dark mineral concentrations. Geologically, it is an elegant union of dolomite and quartz; the quartz veins provide a robust structure while the dolomite base offers a density that is harder and more resistant to etching than typical marble. Its "Melting Snow" moniker beautifully captures the aesthetic of a winter landscape transitioning into spring. Highly versatile, Donatello is ideal for high-traffic areas like kitchen countertops and flooring.
