Cristallo Trasviolet is one of the rarest cuts in Antolini's Exclusive Collection — a translucent natural quartz with a clear white crystalline base crossed by violet streaks and threads of warm iron oxide. DW654 is a Treated-grade lot: the slab is resin-treated to stabilise the micro-fracture network that comes with the violet passages, which is what lets us run the polished finish at 2cm without the vein structure telegraphing under raking light.

We photographed and filmed this slab the day it came off the container. The first pass is the front-lit daylight shot — the slab lifted off the rack, violet streaks running the length of the slab against the cool crystalline ground. The second still is the bookmatching — two slabs laid open so the violet streaks meet on the seam, the way this lot wants to be installed across a feature wall, a bar front, or a double-vanity run. The video is the lot as it sits on the floor now: under the racking lights, walked length and width, so you can read the movement and the crystal density before you fly out to the yard.

Polished at 2cm. The mirror surface pushes the violet forward, deepens the iron threads, and lights up the crystalline structure under raking light. Treated means the slab is more forgiving on cut and seam — important on a translucent lot where every join shows. The 70" × 102" format is the architectural size for backlit walls, full-height vanities, bar fronts, and feature islands with under-counter LED.

70″ × 102″ in 2cm, lot DW654, treated, polished. Currently on the floor at Royal Stone. Walk it in the yard — we'll pull a slab and run the lights so you can read the front-lit and bookmatched states before specifying. Designers and architects in Los Angeles, Beverly Hills, Bel Air, Pacific Palisades, and Malibu — call to arrange a viewing.
