A new shipment from Antolini Brazil has arrived at Royal Stone: 42 slabs of Gabana Nuage AO554 quartzite, each cut at 2cm and finished polished. The 79″ × 127″ format carries Gabana's layered gray field — cool gray banding alternating with paler bands, crossed by occasional white and warm gold vein work.

The polished surface brings the white-to-gold vein work forward against the cool gray banding. Performance, porosity and sealing requirements vary by the individual stone, quarry and finish, so suitability should be confirmed for kitchen or outdoor use.

The new lot is currently in the yard at Royal Stone. Banded quartzites benefit from being walked in person — the rhythm of the bands varies across the slab and matters for how the material lays out on a kitchen island or a continuous wall. Stop by to see the run before specifying.
