Roman Classic Travertine (Crosscut)
Roman Classic Travertine is quarried near Tivoli in the Rome region of Italy, the stone behind much of the ancient city’s architecture. Its creamy white base carries warm beige tones, and this crosscut block reveals a soft, cloudy pattern instead of the linear banding of a vein cut.
That even pattern makes it easy to run across large walls and floors without the surface feeling busy. Up close, the natural pitting gives it the texture travertine is known for.
Like all travertine it is porous, so plan on sealing every 1 to 2 years and cleaning with warm water and mild soap rather than harsh products.
Best for: walls, floors, classic and traditional interiors.

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.

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.
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. Its depth of colour and dramatic character make it an exceptional choice for feature walls, statement benchtops and striking flooring applications. For interiors that call for something genuinely extraordinary, Arcadia Quartzite delivers an extravagant natural beauty that is both bold and timelessly sophisticated.
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.
