Antolini Patagonia Alabastro quartzite slab with translucent pink-grey field and dramatic white cloud formations, polished finish

Patagonia Alabastro is the softest, most atmospheric reading of the Patagonia family. A translucent pink-grey field is broken by dramatic white cloud formations that drift across the slab — closer to weather than to vein, and unmistakably one continuous composition. The name fits: lit, it carries the glow of alabaster.

This is a backlight slab first. Set behind a translucent panel, the pink-grey ground softens to a warm wash while the white clouds float as bright passages — an effect that turns a feature wall, a bar front, or a powder vanity into the focal point of the room. Even unlit, the surface holds a quiet, luminous depth under warm light.

From the slab arrival, 2025-01

As a true quartzite, Alabastro brings hardness and etch resistance that an alabaster or a soft marble could never match, so the translucency does not come at the cost of durability.

This is Lot 9001, polished. A distinctive, atmospheric slab on the floor at our South Sepulveda yard — best judged backlit, in person.
