Luce Di Luna, also known as Parthenon, is a 2 cm white with grey and green quartzite from Brazil, offered in a honed finish. Lot 5749 measures about 129″ × 80″, with one slab available at our Los Angeles yard.

This slab

The recorded size of a slab in this lot is 129″ × 80″, about 72 square feet. Thickness is 2 cm. The color on record is white with grey and green. Natural stone still varies inside that description, so the slab itself is the reference for movement and shade. Luce Di Luna is also known as Parthenon. Searching either name should lead to this same material. This material is recorded as quarried in Brazil.

The honed finish is smooth and matte, without a high gloss. Two centimeters is a standard slab thickness for counters, vanities, and wall cladding.

In the yard

Lot 5749 at our Los Angeles yard shows one slab in stock, none on hold, and one slab available. Available means in stock minus slabs on hold.

With one slab available, it suits a project that can be cut from a single piece.

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 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 Luce Di Luna

Luce Di Luna, also known as Parthenon, is a sophisticated quartzite quarried from the region of Minas Gerais, Brazil. Its name, translating to moonlight in Italian, perfectly captures its ethereal aesthetic: a luminous white to soft gray background adorned with elegant, linear charcoal veining. As a quartzite, it offers the classic beauty of marble with significantly higher durability, being resistant to heat, scratches, and staining. This makes it an ideal choice for high-traffic surfaces like kitchen countertops and flooring. Interestingly, its distinct parallel veining is often used by designers to create striking book-matched installations that evoke a sense of modern architectural symmetry.
