Taj Mahal Quartzite
Taj Mahal Quartzite has a warm beige base crossed by gentle veins of grey, gold and orange, giving it the soft look of marble with the strength of quartzite. Hand-picked from Brazilian quarries, it is one of our most requested marble-look stones. It is a natural quartzite, not a marble and not an engineered quartz, so it offers the elegance people love about marble with far better day-to-day durability.
Key Benefits of Taj Mahal Quartzite
Durable: as a quartzite, Taj Mahal is hard (around 7 on the Mohs scale), heat-resistant and scratch-resistant, which suits a working kitchen as much as a feature wall. Unlike marble, it does not etch from everyday acids like lemon juice or wine.
Low maintenance: its low porosity means it only needs sealing every two to three years, less often than marble, and it wipes clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.
Marble look, natural stone: the warm beige base and grey-gold veining read as a soft block of colour across a room, and because it is natural, every slab is unique. Available in polished and honed finishes.
Versatile: heat-resistant and UV-stable, so it works indoors and out.
Best for: kitchen benchtops, islands, splashbacks, feature walls and bathroom vanities.
After 20 years supplying natural stone across Sydney and Newcastle, we have found Taj Mahal to be one of the easiest marble-look quartzites to live with. See it in person at our Greenacre or Beresfield showroom, since photos do not capture its depth and movement.

Zebrano Quartzite is a dramatically striking natural stone with a bold white and grey background swept by thick, sweeping black veins that flow across each slab in confident, rhythmic waves that command immediate and undivided attention. Named after the distinctively striped zebra wood, the stone’s graphic, high contrast patterning carries a natural boldness and intentionality that sets it firmly apart from more subtly patterned stones, making it an unapologetic statement material for those who want their surfaces to speak with genuine authority. The thick black veining moves across the lighter foundation with a purposeful, rhythmic energy that feels both powerfully dramatic and naturally beautiful, creating a surface that is as visually compelling from across the room as it is up close. Its leathered finish adds a wonderful tactile depth that softens the stone’s dramatic appearance slightly while beautifully enhancing its natural texture and contemporary edge. As a quartzite, Zebrano delivers excellent durability, heat resistance and scratch resistance, making it as practical as it is visually extraordinary for high-use applications. Perfectly suited to feature walls, statement kitchen islands, bathroom vanities and fireplace surrounds, it pairs beautifully with contemporary minimalist interiors, warm timber cabinetry and brushed brass accents.

The ethereal interplay of colour and pattern creates a surface that feels simultaneously chaotic and harmonious, raw and refined, possessing a natural energy and visual depth that manufactured materials simply cannot replicate. As a quartzite, Patagonia offers exceptional resistance to heat and scratching, delivering the strength and durability needed for high-use applications without ever compromising on its remarkable aesthetic appeal. Perfectly suited to kitchen benchtops, feature walls, statement islands and luxury bathroom vanities, Patagonia Quartzite brings an unmatchable combination of natural beauty, outstanding durability and a genuine sense of wild, untamed magnificence to any interior fortunate enough to showcase it.
Mont Blanc Quartzite is a perennial favourite in the Avant Stone collection, and it is easy to understand why. A creamy white background delicately accented with soft grey and warm tan veining creates an elegant, marble-like aesthetic that feels timelessly beautiful in any interior setting. What truly sets Mont Blanc apart is the combination of that refined, sophisticated appearance with the exceptional durability and natural strength that quartzite is celebrated for, delivering the best of both worlds in a single, remarkable natural stone. The warm tonal quality running throughout the stone makes it a particularly beautiful pairing with timber cabinetry and natural finishes, bringing a cohesive warmth to kitchens, bathrooms and living spaces that feels genuinely inviting. Its angular veining also lends itself beautifully to book-matched applications, where mirrored adjacent slabs create sweeping symmetrical compositions of understated elegance on feature walls and statement installations. Perfectly suited to benchtops, walls and floors across both residential and commercial settings, Mont Blanc Quartzite brings a classic, enduring beauty and a quiet natural sophistication to any interior fortunate enough to showcase it.
Infinity White Quartzite presents a clean, neutral grey background that serves as a sophisticated canvas for bold, dark, angular veining that cuts across each slab with a striking architectural confidence.

As a quartzite, Infinity White offers exceptional durability and natural strength, making it as well suited to the demands of a busy kitchen benchtop as it is to a dramatic feature wall or refined bathroom vanity. Its versatile neutral palette integrates beautifully across a wide range of interior styles, from clean contemporary spaces to more traditional design schemes, bringing a timeless sophistication and quiet natural beauty to any application it graces.
