Sea Pearl is a breathtaking natural quartzite quarried in Brazil, also known by the name Madre Perla. It features a serene, neutral palette of soft grays and off-whites, often accented by delicate veins of gold, green, or pale blue. Renowned for its incredible durability and resistance to acids and scratching, it offers the sophisticated aesthetic of marble with the structural strength of granite. Its unique, undulating patterns evoke the fluid movement of ocean waves and the iridescent luster of precious pearls. Because it is highly metamorphosed, Sea Pearl is notably less porous than many other quartzites, making it a premier choice for high-use surfaces like kitchen countertops and elegant bathroom vanities.
Sea Pearl — 2 cm quartzite, polished, from 120″ × 79″ to 125″ × 79″ across the lot. Lot BG12079, from Brazil, has 2 slabs available at our Los Angeles yard.
This slab
The recorded size of a slab in this lot is 122″ × 79″, about 67 square feet. Sizes across the lot run from 120″ × 79″ to 125″ × 79″. 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 BG12079 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 Transitional Kitchen.
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.
