Antolini Caribbean Blue quartzite slab, 79 by 134 inches, polished finish with soft sea-blue field swept by diagonal currents of cream, rust, and burgundy, lifted by crane against a brick wall at Royal Stone in Los Angeles

Caribbean Blue reads exactly like its name — a hazy, sea-blue ground crossed by long diagonal currents of cream, oxidized rust, and the occasional burgundy streak. The movement runs corner-to-corner, almost wind-driven, with enough quiet open field between the heavier veining to keep the slab from feeling busy. It's one of the more architecturally usable blue quartzites on the floor: dramatic without being loud.

Polished to a high gloss, the surface deepens the blue field, lacquers the rust passages into something closer to copper, and gives the white veining a wet, mineral shine.
From the slab arrival, 2024

Polished to a high gloss, the surface deepens the blue field, lacquers the rust passages into something closer to copper, and gives the white veining a wet, mineral shine. Quartzite-hard and acid-resistant — durable enough for kitchen island duty, vanities, full-height feature walls, and bar fronts.

Antolini, 79" × 134" — fresh on the floor at Royal Stone. The format is generous enough for a single-piece island or a long counter run without seams. Worth walking the yard to see the current direction in person before locking in the layout.
