This slab

The recorded size of a slab in this lot is 112″ × 79″, about 61 square feet. Thickness is 2 cm. The color on record is brown. 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 leather finish is lightly textured, with a softer look than a full polish. Two centimeters is a standard slab thickness for counters, vanities, and wall cladding.

In the yard

Lot 021675 at our Los Angeles yard shows 20 slabs in stock, one slab on hold, and 19 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 Classical 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 Saratoga Brown

Saratoga Brown is a sophisticated and robust natural quartzite quarried from the rich geological formations of Brazil. This high-performance stone is defined by its deep, earthy brown palette, often featuring intricate textures and subtle tonal variations that provide a sense of organic warmth. As a true quartzite, it offers exceptional hardness and density, surpassing many granites in resistance to scratches, heat, and acidic etching. Its remarkable durability makes it an ideal choice for high-traffic surfaces like kitchen countertops and flooring. Interestingly, while its warm hues evoke the softness of wood, its mineral composition provides the permanent resilience of one of the earth's toughest metamorphic rocks.
