Taj Mahal Quartzite

The warm white quartzite of Espírito Santo. A creamy ivory ground veined with soft fawn and pale gold — chosen for marble-like movement in a natural quartzite.

Super Taj Mahal — Polished

On Taj Mahal

No. 02.1

Quarried in Espírito Santo, Brazil. Sold as Taj Mahal and, in its denser, more uniform grade, Super Taj Mahal.

Taj Mahal reads as a quiet warm-white marble in a finished space but behaves as a quartzite underneath. It is generally harder and more resistant to scratching and etching than marble, which makes it a common choice for working kitchens that want a white-marble aesthetic.

Standard gauge is 2cm, with 3cm available for free-standing islands and thicker mitered edges. Slabs run large — 75″ × 120″ to 80″ × 130″ — large enough for a single-slab island or a bookmatched bath wall in most floor plans.

Honed reads soft and quiet underhand; polished pulls warmth out of the field and is the right finish for vanities and fireplaces; leathered is for outdoor and bar work. Every Taj Mahal lot moves quickly — designers and architects in Los Angeles know it. Slabs can be held for a specific project.

Spring Antolini arrivals represented Taj Mahal Select in polished, honed, and leathered finishes across multiple lots. Availability changes as slabs are reserved, so confirm current finish, dimensions, and lot sequence before specifying.

Common Questions

Taj Mahal
questions, answered.

Is Taj Mahal real quartzite?
Taj Mahal is sold as a quartzite quarried in Espírito Santo, Brazil. Quartzite is generally harder and more scratch-resistant than marble. Performance varies by the individual stone, quarry and finish, so the specific slab should be evaluated before fabrication.
What is the difference between Taj Mahal and Super Taj Mahal quartzite?
Both come from the same Brazilian region. Super Taj Mahal is the denser, more uniform grade with a cleaner ivory field and softer, more consistent veining, while standard Taj Mahal shows a touch more movement. Royal Stone stocks both grades in our Los Angeles yard.
Does Taj Mahal quartzite need to be sealed?
Porosity and sealing requirements vary by the individual stone, quarry and finish. The specific Taj Mahal slab should be evaluated before fabrication, with sealing and maintenance selected for that stone and application.
How much does Taj Mahal quartzite cost in Los Angeles?
Pricing varies by grade (Taj Mahal vs. Super Taj Mahal), finish, slab size, and current inventory. Call (310) 477-3223 or book a yard visit for current per-slab pricing and availability.
What finishes does Taj Mahal quartzite come in?
Royal Stone stocks Taj Mahal in honed, polished, and leathered finishes. Honed reads soft and quiet, polished pulls warmth out of the field for vanities and fireplaces, and leathered suits outdoor and bar applications.
