Obsidian Quartzite
Obsidian Quartzite is a remarkably striking natural stone with a deep, dark background dramatically enriched by warm gold and red quartz crystals that scatter across the surface with a luminous, jewel-like energy that gives the stone a sense of movement and personality unlike anything else in the quartzite world. The interplay between the intense dark foundation and the warm crystalline inclusions creates a surface that catches light beautifully from every angle, shifting in tone and depth throughout the day as the gold and red crystals reflect and absorb the changing light with a captivating brilliance. Its robust quartzite structure makes it an outstanding choice for high-use kitchen benchtops where both exceptional beauty and everyday durability are equally important, offering a strength and resilience that more delicate stones simply cannot match. Available in a polished finish that maximises the stone’s natural luminosity and brings the warm gold and red crystals vividly to life, Obsidian Quartzite is a natural standout for feature walls, kitchen islands and statement benchtops, bringing a rare and dramatic natural beauty to any interior that embraces the extraordinary character of truly exceptional dark stone.

Arcadia Quartzite is a richly distinctive natural stone that commands attention with its deep, luxurious green colouration and bold natural patterning. The intricate veining moves across each slab with an organic energy, while the stone’s naturally faceted surface adds a raw, textural quality that makes it truly one of a kind.

For interiors that call for something genuinely extraordinary, Arcadia Quartzite delivers an extravagant natural beauty that is both bold and timelessly sophisticated.
Roman Striato Travertine is a premier Italian travertine quarried from the outer regions of Rome, distinguished by its pronounced horizontal striations that give the stone its name, striato meaning striped in Italian. A warm, earthy background provides the canvas for rhythmic, grey horizontal veining that flows across each slab with a stronger, more defined linear movement than subtler travertine varieties, creating a visual rhythm that is particularly breathtaking across expansive feature walls and flooring where the patterning can flow completely uninterrupted. Carrying the same ancient Italian heritage as the stone used in the Colosseum and countless Roman architectural masterpieces, Roman Striato brings an authentic historical grandeur to contemporary Australian interiors with effortless elegance. Perfectly suited to feature walls, flooring, wall cladding and bathroom applications, it pairs beautifully with warm timber, brass fixtures and Mediterranean-inspired elements. As with all travertine, regular sealing every one to two years will protect its naturally porous surface and keep it looking its best.
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.
Calacatta Statuario Marble is a hand-selected Italian masterpiece sourced from the finest quarries of the Carrara region, renowned for its crisp, luminous white background adorned with striking, broad grey veins that sweep across each slab with a bold and dramatic presence. The combination of pure white clarity and powerful grey veining creates an unparalleled blend of drama and refinement that has made it one of the most sought-after marbles among discerning homeowners, architects and interior designers worldwide. Each slab is unique, carrying its own individual composition of veining and tone that transcends passing trends and offers a timeless beauty with genuine permanence and enduring appeal. Despite its undeniable luxury, Calacatta Statuario is a remarkably robust natural stone, balancing outstanding functionality with breathtaking aesthetics in equal measure. Perfectly suited to kitchen benchtops, bathroom vanities, fireplace surrounds and feature walls, this exceptional marble transforms any space into a vision of refined grandeur that speaks quietly but unmistakably of exceptional taste.
