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.

Aurora Quartzite captures the ethereal beauty of the polar lights in natural stone form, with spectacular swirling colourations of soft pastel green, misty grey and luminous white moving across each slab like the aurora borealis frozen in time. The colour palette is genuinely extraordinary, sage greens blending seamlessly into creamy whites and cool greys to create a surface that feels simultaneously serene and alive with natural movement. No two slabs are alike, each carrying its own unique interpretation of these dancing tones. Beyond its remarkable visual appeal, Aurora is a true quartzite, offering exceptional durability and density that makes it equally well suited to kitchen benchtops, outdoor feature walls and everything in between. Available in honed and leathered finishes, it pairs beautifully with natural timber, brushed brass and bronze fixtures and organic textures that complement its earth meets sky aesthetic, making it one of the most versatile and visually captivating stones in the collection.
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.
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.
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.
