White Macaubas is a 2 cm grey quartzite, offered in a honed finish. Lot 9688 runs from 121″ × 80″ to 122″ × 80″, with 3 slabs available at our Los Angeles yard.

This slab

The recorded size of a slab in this lot is 122″ × 80″, about 68 square feet. Sizes across the lot run from 121″ × 80″ to 122″ × 80″. Thickness is 2 cm. The color on record is grey. Natural stone still varies inside that description, so the slab itself is the reference for movement and shade.

The honed finish is smooth and matte, without a high gloss. Two centimeters is a standard slab thickness for counters, vanities, and wall cladding.

In the yard

Lot 9688 at our Los Angeles yard shows 3 slabs in stock, none on hold, and 3 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 Kitchen and a 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 White Macaubas

White Macaubas is an exquisite natural quartzite quarried in Brazil, highly sought after for its sophisticated marble-like appearance and superior durability. It features a crisp white to ivory background accented by distinctive, linear horizontal veining in shades of charcoal, light gray, and occasionally soft taupe or gold. This metamorphic stone is exceptionally hard, offering high resistance to heat and scratching, making it a premier choice for high-traffic areas like kitchen islands and bathroom vanities. Interestingly, while its elegant striations often lead it to be mistaken for marble, White Macaubas possesses a mineral density closer to granite, providing a luxurious aesthetic without the typical fragility of softer stones.
