Austral Dream Dolomite has soft cream tones carrying delicate white and gold veining, giving it a warmth that sits comfortably in a room rather than demanding attention. It is the kind of stone people choose when they want calm rather than drama.
You may see it searched as Austral Dream quartzite or Austral Dream marble, but it is a natural dolomite. Dolomite generally sits between marble and quartzite. It is harder and more forgiving than marble, but softer than quartzite, which gives Austral Dream the soft, veined look people love in marble with a little more resilience for everyday use.
In the kitchen, Austral Dream suits benchtops, islands and waterfall ends where a marble might worry you. Its cream base works with white, timber and darker joinery, and the gentle veining is easier to match across joins than a bolder stone. It also works well on bathroom vanities, feature walls and splashbacks, and pairs easily with brass or bronze fixtures.
Our current Austral Dream slabs are 20 mm thick with a honed finish, from about 2820 to 3200 mm long and 1700 to 1760 mm high. Each slab is shown below with its code and size, so you can choose the exact piece for your project.
Like any natural stone, dolomite is porous. Have it sealed when it is installed, reseal as your supplier or sealer manufacturer recommends, and wipe up acidic spills such as lemon juice or wine promptly to keep the honed finish even.

Arctic Rain Dolomite is a striking natural stone with a cool grey white background layered with subtle white veining and distinctive dark blue central veins that run through each slab with bold, dramatic effect. The interplay between the lighter background tones and the deeper blue veining creates a compelling balance of light and dark that gives the stone a unique visual depth and energy. Its superior density and durability make it equally well suited to high traffic commercial spaces and refined residential interiors. Available in both honed and leathered finishes, Arctic Rain Dolomite offers a versatile and timeless aesthetic that works beautifully across benchtops, feature walls, flooring and beyond.
Ocean Blue Travertine is a beautifully serene natural stone and a close sibling to Silver Travertine, presenting a captivating horizontal palette of cool greys, soft silvers and subtle olive tones that layer across each slab with a calm, rhythmic quality that evokes the stillness of a distant horizon. The distinctive horizontal banding creates a natural sense of continuity and flow that feels particularly breathtaking across expansive wall cladding and flooring applications, where the linear patterning can move uninterrupted with a quiet, meditative elegance. Its neutral yet genuinely distinctive colour palette sits apart from warmer travertines, offering a cooler, more contemporary character that complements a wide range of natural materials and interior styles with remarkable versatility. Perfectly suited to kitchen benchtops, bathroom vanities, walls, floors and fireplace surrounds, Ocean Blue Travertine pairs beautifully with brushed nickel fixtures, cool-toned timber and natural stone accents, bringing a serene and effortlessly sophisticated coastal elegance to any interior it graces. As with all travertine, periodic sealing every one to two years will protect its naturally porous surface and preserve its timeless beauty.
Calacatta Viola Marble is a rare and genuinely extraordinary natural stone, presenting a pristine white background dramatically swept with striking violet veining that ranges from soft lavender whispers through to deep, bold purple tones in artistic, expressive strokes. The distinctive violet veining is exceptionally uncommon in natural marble, making each slab a collector’s piece in its own right and giving this stone a one-of-a-kind character that no other marble in the Calacatta family can replicate. The combination of the classic luminous white base and the rare purple tones creates a grandiose aesthetic that is unapologetically bold; this is not a stone that asks for attention quietly. Whether used as a statement kitchen island, a dramatic feature wall or a luxury bathroom vanity, Calacatta Viola transforms any space into something truly extraordinary and deeply memorable. Perfectly suited to luxury residential and commercial projects where the stone is intended to be the undisputed centrepiece of the room, it pairs beautifully with brushed gold fixtures, crisp white joinery and rich dark cabinetry. Like all marble, regular sealing every one to two years and prompt cleanup of acidic spills will preserve its stunning appearance for years to come.
