Anima Aqua Crystal · Block YG492 — Polished, in Los Angeles

Block YG492

The aqua translucent.

Quarried in Brazil and selected through the Antolini Anima program.

Anima Aqua Crystal is the cool-water register of the Antolini Anima family — crystalline quartzite drawn for an aqua-blue pass through the body. Polished keeps the slab translucent and reflective, drawing light into the surface rather than diffusing it; honed would push the aqua toward matte and dampen the depth. The slab is meant for primary baths, contemporary kitchens, bar fronts and feature walls where the brief is blue and reflective rather than warm.

At 77″ × 128″, Block YG492 sizes for full-height primary bath walls, contemporary kitchen spans, dining tables, bar fronts, and powder room compositions. Polished reads reflective even under everyday lighting; backlit, the aqua-blue passages glow through the slab in the same register as a deep swimming pool. Honed or leather by special order.

The right Anima for the room where the brief is blue and the slab is meant to live as water. Pair with plaster, limewash, white oak, brushed nickel, and a quieter warmer marble elsewhere as the counterpoint. Runs beautifully as a primary bath composition, a contemporary kitchen span, a powder room, a bar front, and a backlit feature wall.

One Finish · Polished

Polished,
to keep the aqua clear.

Block YG492 ships polished. The aqua register is calibrated to a reflective surface — light is meant to travel into the slab and read through the body. Honed would push the blue toward matte and dampen the depth; leather would soften the crystalline structure. Polished keeps the slab translucent, watery, and contemporary.

The right surface for primary baths, contemporary kitchen spans, bar fronts, powder rooms, and any application where the slab is meant to read as cool water rather than as stone.

Aqua translucent, reflective, cool

Polishing keeps the Aqua Crystal register clear and reflective. The slab sits calmly against plaster, limewash, white oak, and brushed nickel — and the cool blue body reads as water rather than as ornament.

Common Questions

Questions,answered.

What is Antolini Anima Aqua Crystal quartzite?
Aqua Crystal is the aqua-blue register of the Antolini Anima translucent quartzite family — crystalline stone drawn for a clear cool pass through the body. Block YG492 ships at 2cm polished, 77″ × 128″. The translucent body reads as quartzite under everyday lighting; the aqua-blue becomes the event when the slab is lit from behind.
Is Block YG492 available in honed or leather?
By special order. The slab ships polished, calibrated to keep the aqua register clear and reflective. Honed would dampen the depth; leather would soften the crystalline structure. Bring drawings and we will lay the options against the polished slab on the floor.
Where does Aqua Crystal work best?
In the room where the brief is blue and the slab is meant to live as water. A primary bath composed entirely of stone, a contemporary kitchen span, a bar front, a powder room, a backlit feature wall. Pair with plaster, limewash, white oak, brushed nickel, and a quieter warmer marble elsewhere as counterpoint.
How is Aqua Crystal different from other Antolini translucent variants?
All Antolini translucent family quartzites are crystalline. Aqua Crystal pulls the family’s cool-water register — the aqua-blue pass is what differentiates it from Cobalt Cristallo (deeper navy), Tiffany Jade (green-tinged), Traslux (icy white), Cristallo Etrusco (amber and cream), and Cristallo Baby Rose (soft blush).
Can Block YG492 be bookmatched?
Bookmatched Aqua Crystal is quote-on-request. The slab ships as a single piece; depending on the block we can sometimes lay out a matched pair. For larger layouts a quote-on-request will tell you whether matched sets are available.
How do I see Block YG492 in person?
Royal Stone is at 2303 South Sepulveda Boulevard, West Los Angeles. Designers and private clients are welcome by appointment Monday through Friday. Call (310) 477-3223 and we will pull the slab for you.

Walk Block YG492,
in daylight.

The aqua register reads clearer and more watery in person than in any photograph — the slab is meant to live as material rather than ornament. We’d rather pull the slab and walk you through than describe it.
