What Patagonia Quartzite looks like
A cloudy, translucent gray background, with large irregular patches of creamy beige on top. Fine dark lines complete a brecciated pattern in high contrast. Gray and beige are distributed very unevenly within the slab in the photo, which is polished and glossy. No two Patagonia slabs repeat: you choose from photos.

Patagonia Quartzite finishes
Two surface finishes and one for light; backlighting depends on the slab letting light through.
-
Polished
The one in the Patagonia photo: a mirror gloss that slips on wet floors.
-
Honed
Takes the mirror off Patagonia; this is the finish for a floor that gets wet.
-
Backlit
With light behind it, the translucent gray zones light up if the slab you choose lets light through.

Questions about Patagonia Quartzite
How does Patagonia quartzite differ from Taj Mahal?
They share the hardness of quartzite, not the pattern. The Taj Mahal photo shows soft caramel veins crossing a light beige on the diagonal. Patagonia, in its photo, builds large patches of creamy beige over a cloudy gray, with fine dark lines and high contrast.
Can Patagonia quartzite be backlit?
Yes, if the slab lets light through. Quartzites with large crystals do: the translucent gray of this one then lights up from behind. Confirmed with the slab you choose.
Does Patagonia quartzite hold up to kitchen use?
Very well. On a Patagonia island a knife leaves no mark and the heat of a pot matters far less than on marble. Its porosity depends on the quartzite: if a drop of water darkens the stone, it is worth sealing.
Is the photo of a real Patagonia quartzite slab?
Real, yes: the Patagonia in the photo is a single slab, seen in full and in a close shot. Before you buy, we send photos of the slabs available for your order.
How does Patagonia quartzite travel to 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.
