Patagonia is Antolini's translucent quartzite from Brazil, prized for its ability to backlight into something between stone and stained glass. This selection — graded Original Unique, lot AO683 — is the dramatic expression of the program: large translucent ivory plates set into a network of molten copper, amber, and bronze veining that lights from behind like a vein of magma cooling through ice.

2cm gauge, polished, 75″ × 121″. Fully natural quartzite, hard-wearing, and a candidate for the projects Patagonia is famous for: backlit kitchen islands, backlit bar fronts, fireplace surrounds with internal LED, and feature walls where the light source is the design choice. Polished is the right finish — it deepens the copper and lets the translucent plates carry the light cleanly.

From the slab arrival,

Pairs with unlacquered brass, blackened steel, dark walnut, and quiet plaster walls. The slab does not need a partner; it needs a frame.

On the floor at 2303 South Sepulveda, and worth seeing with a light behind it before you decide. Tag it for your project.
