Perla Bianca, also known as Bianca Perla, is an exquisite natural quartzite quarried from the diverse geological landscapes of Brazil. This stone is celebrated for its luminous ice-white to creamy background, artistically interlaced with delicate, flowing veins of light gray, taupe, and occasional warm reddish-brown. As a true quartzite formed from metamorphic sandstone, it offers superior hardness and resistance to scratching and heat, making it a functional yet luxurious choice for high-traffic surfaces. Interestingly, its name translates from Italian as White Pearl, a nod to the subtle, pearlescent shimmer that often graces its crystalline surface when caught by the light.
Perla Bianca — 2 cm white with beige quartzite, polished, about 129″ × 79″ per slab. Lot 3772, from Brazil, has 2 slabs available at our Los Angeles yard.
This slab
The recorded size of a slab in this lot is 129″ × 79″, about 71 square feet. Thickness is 2 cm. The color on record is white with beige. 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 3772 at our Los Angeles yard shows 2 slabs in stock, none on hold, and 2 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 and a Modern Bathroom.
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.
