Roma Imperiale is a new arrival, now on hand at our Los Angeles yard.

Each slab of Roma Imperiale in lot 206560 measures about 126″ × 78″. This is 2 cm quartzite quarried in Brazil with a polished finish, and 2 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 126″ × 78″, about 68 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 206560 at our Los Angeles yard shows 3 slabs in stock, one slab 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.

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 Roma Imperiale

Roma Imperiale is a dramatic and exotic quartzite primarily quarried in the Northeast region of Brazil. This natural stone is celebrated for its warm, sophisticated palette, featuring a creamy ivory or light beige background set against a high-contrast network of bold, sweeping veins in shades of burnt gold, mahogany, and deep rust. Because it is a metamorphic rock formed from solid sandstone, it offers the prestigious appearance of marble with superior resistance to heat, scratching, and staining. Interestingly, this material shares the same geological formation and quarry site as the famous Blue Roma and Illusion Blue quartzites, with its distinct earthy tones resulting from specific mineral concentrations during its formation. This durability and striking visual movement make it a preferred choice for statement kitchen islands and luxury wall cladding.
