Natura is an exotic Brazilian quartzite primarily quarried in the Serra da Carnaíba region of Bahia. It is celebrated for its mesmerizing moss to emerald green palette, often accented by translucent white quartz and silver tonal variations. This stone’s remarkable coloration is a geological gift; the quarry is located just one kilometer from Brazil’s largest emerald mine, and the stone actually contains traces of fuchsite and emerald slag. Combining the ethereal, light-reflecting beauty of marble with the extreme durability and scratch resistance of quartzite, Natura is a premier choice for high-end benchtops, book-matched walls, and luxury vanities.
Each slab of Natura in lot 1006026 measures about 134″ × 80″. This is 2 cm quartzite quarried in Brazil with a polished finish, and 3 slabs are available at our Los Angeles yard.
This slab
The recorded size of a slab in this lot is 134″ × 80″, about 74 square feet. Thickness is 2 cm. 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 1006026 at our Los Angeles yard shows 3 slabs in stock, none on hold, and 3 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 Fireplace.
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.
