Helicanus Marble
Helicanus Marble is a genuinely captivating natural stone where industrial edge meets refined artistry, presenting a distinctive cement grey base intricately traced with warm copper-toned veining and delicate white lines that traverse the surface with an almost architectural precision. The unusual colour combination is precisely what makes this marble so compelling. The cool contemporary grey foundation suits modern minimalist spaces beautifully, while the metallic copper veining introduces an unexpected warmth and luminosity that catches light throughout the day and prevents the stone from ever feeling cold or austere. The fine white detailing adds yet another layer of visual complexity, creating a surface that reveals new depth and character the longer you spend with it. This is a marble that bridges the gap between raw urban aesthetics and natural elegance with genuine sophistication, appealing to designers who seek something beyond conventional white or grey stone options. Perfectly suited to feature walls, kitchen islands, bathroom vanities and fireplace surrounds, Helicanus pairs beautifully with brushed bronze and copper fixtures, warm timber, concrete elements and matte black tapware, making it an outstanding choice for industrial, contemporary and warehouse-conversion interiors that celebrate materials with real character.

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.
Dolomite is worth understanding before you choose it. It sits between marble and quartzite, harder and more forgiving than marble, softer than quartzite. That makes Austral Dream a practical option for kitchen benchtops and islands where a marble would worry you, while keeping the same soft, veined look.
It also works well on bathroom vanities, feature walls and splashbacks, and pairs easily with timber joinery and brass or bronze fixtures.
Dolomite is still porous, so sealing every one to two years and prompt cleanup of acidic spills will keep it looking its best. Visit our Sydney or Newcastle showroom to see the current slabs in person.
Rosso Travertine is a genuinely radiant and distinctive natural stone that stands apart from conventional travertines with its bold, warm red hues and vibrant character, bringing an immediate sense of energy and personality to any space it occupies. The rich red tones move across each slab, with the natural horizontal banding and organic texture characteristic of travertine, but with a warmth and colour depth that feel entirely their own, giving the stone a captivating presence that is both dramatically beautiful and deeply inviting. Where most travertines lean towards creamy beiges and cool greys, Rosso offers something genuinely different. This stone infuses interiors with the warmth and vibrancy of sun-baked Mediterranean landscapes without sacrificing any of the timeless natural elegance that makes travertine so enduringly beloved. Perfectly suited to feature walls, fireplace surrounds, bathroom vanities and statement flooring, Rosso Travertine pairs beautifully with warm timber, brushed brass and bronze fixtures, and earthy neutral tones, bringing a bold, captivating natural warmth to any interior that embraces the extraordinary character of truly distinctive natural stone. As with all travertine, periodic sealing every one to two years will protect its naturally porous surface and preserve its vibrant beauty.
Navona Travertine is a delicately refined natural stone that sets itself apart from conventional travertines with a luminous white base gracefully marked by soft, creamy beige streaks that drift across the surface with an almost ivory warmth and quiet, understated elegance. Where many travertines lean towards deeper beige and warm caramel tones, Navona sits in a lighter, more luminous territory, offering a refined sophistication that feels closer to the purity of white marble while retaining the authentic natural character and gentle texture that makes travertine so enduringly beloved. The subtle creamy streaking adds just enough tonal variation to give the stone depth and visual interest without disrupting its overall sense of serene, timeless calm. Perfectly suited to bathroom vanities, feature walls, kitchen benchtops and sophisticated flooring, Navona Travertine pairs beautifully with brushed brass fixtures, soft white joinery and natural timber accents, bringing a luminous, quietly charming elegance to any interior that appreciates the understated beauty of truly refined natural stone. As with all travertine, periodic sealing every one to two years will protect its naturally porous surface and preserve its timeless beauty.
Calacatta Vagli is an Italian marble with a warm, creamy white base and grey and gold veining that breaks into a brecciated, fragmented pattern rather than running in straight lines. Quarried in the Vagli area of Tuscany, part of the historic Carrara marble region, each slab carries its own movement, so no two are alike.
The scattered gold and grey veins give the surface real depth, catching the light through the day and reading as a soft, warm block of colour across a room. As a marble it is porous and softer than quartzite or granite, so it can etch from acidic spills and benefits from sealing every one to two years, with spills wiped up promptly.
Best for: kitchen islands, benchtops, feature walls, shower niches and fireplace surrounds.
It pairs well with timber cabinetry, brass fixtures and warm, natural materials. See the current Calacatta Vagli slabs in person at our Greenacre or Beresfield showroom, since photos do not capture the depth of the veining.
