Caraxes Quartzite
Caraxes Quartzite commands immediate attention with bold dark veining that weaves intricate pathways across a lighter base, creating a captivating interplay of contrast and movement that feels simultaneously dramatic and refined. Unlike uniformly patterned stones, each slab carries its own unique composition, complex enough to reward closer inspection yet confident enough to make a statement from across the room. What makes Caraxes particularly well-suited to contemporary Australian interiors is its sense of balance; the dark on light patterning delivers the visual interest modern spaces crave without ever tipping into overwhelming territory. Perfectly suited to kitchen benchtops, feature walls, statement islands and bathroom vanities, it pairs beautifully with sleek charcoal or crisp white cabinetry, brushed nickel or matte black fixtures and minimalist styling that allows the stone’s natural artistry to take full centre stage. For urban apartments, contemporary homes and commercial fitouts seeking a genuinely refined edge, Caraxes Quartzite is an outstanding natural choice.

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.

Roman Classic Travertine is the very essence of travertine in its most authentic and celebrated form, presenting a creamy white canvas gracefully adorned with delicate, warm beige striations that drift across each slab with a timeless, historically resonant beauty that connects every installation to centuries of architectural grandeur. Quarried from the same Roman region that supplied stone for the great architectural marvels of ancient Rome, this travertine carries a genuine historical heritage and a sense of enduring permanence that few natural stones can rival. The soft, warm tonal variations between the creamy white base and the gentle beige striations create a surface that feels simultaneously expansive and intimate, brightening spaces with a smooth, luminous warmth that has made it a beloved choice in luxury interiors for generations. Perfectly suited to flooring, wall cladding, feature walls, bathroom vanities and fireplace surrounds, Roman Classic Travertine pairs beautifully with warm timber, wrought iron, terracotta accents and brushed brass fixtures, bringing a timeless Mediterranean elegance and an authentic sense of Roman heritage 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 enduring beauty.
