Vitoria Regia is a breathtaking quartzite characterized by its intense forest green hue and ethereal, cloudy patterns. This durable natural stone offers exceptional resistance to heat, scratches, and acids, making it a premier choice for high-traffic kitchen countertops and outdoor applications. Its name is a tribute to the Vitoria Regia, the giant Amazonian water lily, as the stone’s unique circular mineral formations remarkably resemble the plant's massive floating pads. Geologically, these patterns are a snapshot of ancient history, formed from volcanic pillow lava that solidified underwater millions of years ago before undergoing intense metamorphic transformation into the hard, compact stone seen today.
On hand at our Los Angeles yard: 11 slabs of Vitoria Regia, a 2 cm green quartzite from Italy in a polished finish. Lot 29035 measures about 126″ × 81″.
This slab
The recorded size of a slab in this lot is 126″ × 81″, about 71 square feet. Thickness is 2 cm. The color on record is green. 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 Italy.
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 29035 at our Los Angeles yard shows 11 slabs in stock, none on hold, and 11 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 an Accent Wall.
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.
