This slab

The recorded size of a slab in this lot is 135″ × 75″, about 70 square feet. Thickness is 2 cm. The color on record is blue with semi-white 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.

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 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 Ijen Blue

Ijen Blue is a breathtaking quartzite quarried in Brazil, celebrated for its serene, airy blue-grey background. This exotic stone is characterized by a sophisticated interplay of wispy blue and charcoal veining, often accented by warm gold or golden-bronze streaks. As a true quartzite, it offers remarkable durability and resistance to heat, scratches, and staining, making it a superior, low-maintenance alternative to marble for high-traffic areas like kitchen countertops and statement islands. Interestingly, because of its unique geological formation, slabs are frequently book-matched to create stunning mirror-image patterns, perfect for luxurious feature walls and architectural focal points.
