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.

Navona Travertine is a light, ivory-toned travertine with soft cream and beige banding running across the slab. It sits at the lighter end of the travertine range, giving a calm, natural look that works well in bright, minimal interiors.
You may also see it searched as Travertino Navona. Like all travertine, it forms with natural pores and voids. Our Navona slab is supplied honed and filled, which means those voids are filled at the factory and the surface is honed to a smooth matte finish.
Navona suits bathroom vanities, feature walls, fireplace surrounds and flooring. It can also be used for kitchen benchtops with a little extra care, because travertine is a calcium-based stone that can etch when it comes into contact with acids such as lemon juice and vinegar. It pairs well with brushed brass fixtures, soft white joinery and natural timber.
Our current Navona Travertine slab is honed and filled, and is shown below with its code.
Have it sealed when it is installed, reseal as your supplier or sealer manufacturer recommends, and wipe up spills promptly.

Colonial White Granite is a beautifully speckled natural stone with a clean cream and white base delicately scattered with warm burgundy spots that give the stone a subtle, consistent character without ever overpowering the surface. The gentle speckled patterning creates a quiet visual interest that feels refined and grounded, sitting comfortably within a wide range of interior styles from classic to contemporary. As a white granite, one of its most appealing qualities is its exceptional versatility with other materials and colour palettes, blending seamlessly with lighter finishes for a soft, cohesive look and creating an alluring contrast when paired with deeper, darker cabinetry and fixtures. Durable, heat and scratch resistant, Colonial White Granite is an outstanding choice for kitchen benchtops, bathroom vanities, flooring and wall cladding in both residential and commercial applications. As a lighter granite, it benefits from sealing every two to three years to protect against staining and keep it looking its best.
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.
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.
