On hand at our Los Angeles yard: 6 slabs of Noir Blanc, a 2 cm white quartzite in a polished finish. Lot 53483 measures about 120″ × 77″.

This slab

The recorded size of a slab in this lot is 120″ × 77″, about 64 square feet. Thickness is 2 cm. The color on record is white. Natural stone still varies inside that description, so the slab itself is the reference for movement and shade.

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 53483 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 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.

About Noir Blanc

Noir Blanc is a rare and visually arresting natural quartzite that embodies a dramatic contrast between its deep ebony background and delicate, winding white veins. Sourced from elite quarries, this metamorphic stone is celebrated for its exceptional hardness and density, surpassing even granite in durability. Its sophisticated palette and fluid, river-like patterns make it a premier choice for high-end focal points, including waterfall islands and fireplace surrounds. Because of its low porosity, it offers remarkable resistance to heat and acidic etching. Interestingly, while its name translates to Black White in French, the stone is often described as having an introverted yet explosive personality, where bursts of light appear to shatter the silence of its dark, velvety depths.
