Macaubas Fantasy is a breathtaking Brazilian quartzite known for its sophisticated palette of soft white, ivory, and cool gray, often accented by charcoal or gold-toned veining. This metamorphic stone masterfully bridges the gap between the classic elegance of marble and the rugged durability of granite, boasting a hardness of approximately 7 on the Mohs scale. Its flowing, ribbon-like patterns make it a favored choice for book-matched installations and high-use surfaces like kitchen countertops. Interestingly, while its appearance suggests delicate movement, its high quartz content provides exceptional resistance to the etching and scratching typically associated with the softer stones it resembles.
On hand at our Los Angeles yard: 6 slabs of Macaubas Fantasy, a 2 cm multi with semi-white, bordeaux, grey, blue, and gold quartzite from Brazil in a polished finish. Lot 770518 measures about 128″ × 78″.
This slab
The recorded size of a slab in this lot is 128″ × 78″, about 69 square feet. Thickness is 2 cm. The color on record is multi with semi-white, bordeaux, grey, blue, and gold. 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 770518 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 Modern Bathroom and a Wet Bar.
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.
