Lilac Viola Premium Extra Select is the saturated, top-grade cut of the Lilac family — where the standard Lilac reads as a bright white with violet veining, this one inverts the proportion. The field itself is a dusty pink-to-mauve haze, with a dense, all-over net of fine plum and near-black veining drawn across it like cracked porcelain. Pockets of brighter pink and white quartz break up the rhythm in places. Premium Extra Select is the cleanest, most consistently colored grade Antolini ships out of this cave — the field stays even slab to slab, the vein net stays tight, and the slabs match cleanly side by side for vein-matched layouts.

Polished, the surface lacquers the rose field, deepens the plum veining toward true purple, and gives the white quartz pockets a wet, mineral shine. The contrast carries across a long run without going flat — the kind of stone that holds up as a full-height feature wall as easily as it works on a vanity.

Antolini, 103" × 63" (oriented horizontally) — fresh on the floor at Royal Stone. Calcareous and acid-reactive, so route it toward vanities, fireplaces, full-height feature walls, dining tables and bar fronts rather than working kitchens. Worth walking the yard to read the color saturation in person; the rose tone shifts noticeably between daylight and warm interior light.
