Each slab of Nova, also known as Nova Maori, in lot 58114 measures about 124″ × 78″. This is 2 cm granite quarried in Brazil with a polished finish, and 8 slabs are available and one is on hold at our Los Angeles yard.

This slab

The recorded size of a slab in this lot is 124″ × 78″, about 67 square feet. Thickness is 2 cm. Nova is also known as Nova Maori. Searching either name should lead to this same material. 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 58114 at our Los Angeles yard shows 9 slabs in stock, one slab on hold, and 8 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, vanities, and floors. 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 an Outdoor Bar / BBQ.

The material

Granite is an igneous rock quarried around the world. It is built mostly from quartz, feldspar, and mica, and it is one of the harder stones used on counters. It stands up to heat, scratches, and everyday moisture better than most marble. A uniform color stays close from slab to slab, while a veined granite should still be matched inside the lot before it is cut. A honed face looks matte, a polish looks reflective, and a leather or brushed face feels lightly textured. Ask the fabricator whether this finish should be sealed.

About Nova

Nova, also known as Nova Maori, is a dramatic Brazilian granite characterized by its deep ebony background and striking ivory veining. These grayish-white lines intersect across the slab in various widths and lengths, creating a pattern reminiscent of chalk drawings on a blackboard. As an igneous rock formed from cooling magma, its durability makes it an ideal choice for high-traffic areas like kitchen countertops and flooring. Interestingly, the stone often features microfissures that have naturally welded back together over millions of years under intense subterranean heat and pressure, adding to its unique geological story without compromising its structural integrity.
