Lumix is Antolini's name for the cleanest, most light-forward expression of Cristallo Bianco — a near-white field built from tight quartz crystals, with restrained amber and gold veining drifting through the body rather than across it. The Selected grade keeps the read calm and consistent block to block.
Polished, not honed. On a Lumix slab, polish is the right call: it pushes the crystalline structure forward and gives the surface that wet-ice look the Cristallo family is bought for. The amber drift reads warmer under polish and almost disappears under low light, which is part of the appeal.

Backlit, the slab opens up completely. The amber lines become glowing veins, and the field reads more like alabaster than stone. This is the way to specify Lumix for a bar back, fireplace surround, or any vertical surface that gets a light source behind it.
76″ × 117″ in 2cm, lot A0375, currently in the yard. Stop by and we'll backlight it against a panel so you can read the translucency before cutting.
