On hand at our Los Angeles yard: 5 slabs of Quartzite Nera, a 2 cm black with white and grey quartzite in a polished finish. Lot D00887 measures about 127″ × 74″.

This slab

The recorded size of a slab in this lot is 127″ × 74″, about 65 square feet. Thickness is 2 cm. The color on record is black with white and grey. 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 D00887 at our Los Angeles yard shows 5 slabs in stock, none on hold, and 5 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.

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 Quartzite Nera

Quartzite Nera is a striking natural stone primarily quarried in Brazil, though it is frequently processed and distributed by prestigious Italian firms like Antolini. This quartzite is defined by a vibrant, deep black foundation from which delicate yet powerful shades of white and silver-grey emerge. Its sophisticated shimmer and high-contrast veining provide a rare expressive power, making it a favorite for visionary architectural designs and luxury interiors alike.

Beyond its aesthetic appeal, Quartzite Nera offers exceptional durability, ranking high on the Mohs scale for resistance to heat, scratches, and stains. This makes it an ideal, long-lasting choice for high-traffic surfaces like kitchen islands and backsplashes. Interestingly, while its deep tonality often draws comparisons to refined marble, its geological composition as a metamorphic rock provides a level of strength that surpasses many granites, blending ethereal beauty with rugged performance.
