What Explosion Blue Quartzite Looks Like
Blue grey with a violet undertone, covered by dense waves that run on the diagonal, alternating dark and cream bands. The movement is fluid and the contrast is high. In the slab in the photo the waves keep an even rhythm over a polished, glossy surface.

Questions about Explosion Blue Quartzite
Is the photo a real slab?
It is real: the photo shows a full Explosion Blue slab and a close-up of the same slab. The slab in your order may differ from the one in the photo. Before you buy, we send photos of the slabs available for your order.
What is the difference with Azul Macaubas?
The difference is in how they fill the slab. In its photo, Azul Macaubas is a lavender blue background crossed by one large cream band on the diagonal, with ochre touches. Explosion Blue, in its own, spreads tight blue grey and cream waves across the whole slab, without a single band dominating.
Does Explosion Blue hold up as a kitchen countertop?
Yes. An Explosion Blue island does not mark with a knife and a hot pot affects it far less than marble. The kitchen page has more ideas for stone countertops.
Does Explosion Blue quartzite need a sealer?
No quartzite comes with its porosity written on it: it depends on the stone. A drop of water on a cut-off of Explosion Blue settles it: if the stone darkens, seal it. Its stain resistance is medium, so the sealer looks after the countertop and the sink.
How does Explosion Blue reach my country?
We ship to any country, with the stone's documents of origin and its CE certification. On the shipping page we explain how it reaches each region.
