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.
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.
Blue Moon Granite is a striking natural stone with a distinctive grey-and-blue background, boldly intersected by sharp, angular veining that gives each slab a uniquely geometric, contemporary character. The cool blue-grey tones and crisp, angular patterns create a rugged yet refined aesthetic that feels equally at home in modern interior spaces and outdoor entertaining areas. Its exceptional durability and natural weather resistance make it a particular favourite for external applications such as BBQ benches and alfresco entertaining spaces, where both practicality and visual impact matter. Available in tile and paving formats through the Avant Stone Natural Stone Tile range, Blue Moon Granite offers a versatile and cohesive solution for those seeking a bold, durable natural stone that performs beautifully inside and out.
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 Monet Marble is a truly luxurious Italian stone, presenting a warm white background richly woven with sweeping veins of gold, deep red and soft purple tones that drift across each slab with an almost painterly expressiveness. The warm, multi-toned veining gives this marble a rare and distinctive personality within the celebrated Calacatta family, setting it apart from cooler, more restrained white marbles with a boldness that feels artistic and deeply sophisticated. The interplay of the rich gold, burgundy and violet tones against the luminous white base creates a surface that is simultaneously warm, dramatic and undeniably elegant. A natural statement piece for feature walls, kitchen benchtops, bathroom vanities and fireplace surrounds, Calacatta Monet Marble brings an unmistakable sense of luxury and artistry to any interior fortunate enough to showcase it.
