Nobody ever answered this. I saw it recently and was looking at a pic online tonight. Does anyone have this or gotten a sample or anything? Here is the slab I saw at Marble of the World in Fort Lauderdale.

omg, that is gorgeous! I would put that in my kitchen in a heartbeat. Only problem is that it's on the other side of the country from me.

Hi Sharon - the bathroom cabinets are white and my original feeling was that a marble might clash with the floor. The marbles that our fabricator had in stock would not work so well. But, another stone yard that they deal with (OHM Intl. in NJ) sent me some pictures of Venetino and said that it has an overall grey background with deep grey veining. I think this may actually work because of the overall grey tone, it will separate itself from the floor that is a white background with grey veining. Below are the pictures - opinions are welcome. If I use this in the master, then I would use the White American in the other two full baths that have the same tile.

Anyone have white macoubas quartzite for their kitchen counters?

Kaysd, your counters are gorgeous. Lcskaisgir, what I meant by dull is that they seemed darker than yours or kaysd's slabs. I noticed that in the same cut as kaysd's they appeared lighter, but I wanted the cross cut which is more of a swirl rather than straight lines. The color of yours is what I am looking for and haven't found them. I went back to the same place a second time and they seemed to have more light coming in and they looked a bit lighter. I have bad lighting and am worried they will appear flat (no life to them). I have the same problem when I pick glass tile, they are all sparkly in the store and no life when I bring them home. I have to pick something soon so I'm in a panic state because I thought I could just do quartz if I can't find quartzite but even with that I haven't found anything that I love.

I may have found my quartzite...anyone have Antarctica?

Well, the behavior of the rock makes sense. Knowing what we know now, thanks to Sweetcheetah, is that the rock is extremely well-bonded, pure quartz. This rock went through a lot of metamorphism to the point where the quartz grains grew into each other. The degree to which this happens with quartzites depends on how much metamorphism it undergoes. Some quartzites aren't much different from the sandstone they started out as. But others get much more heat and pressure and approach melting, but don't melt. Instead they recrystallize where the grains all grow into each other. It looks like in this rock the crystals are fairly large, which probably makes it more challenging to work with. So yeah, cutting this rock would be a lot like cutting glass. Extremely difficult and prone to breaking. As I described above, quartz (and glass) tends to break unevenly so it's hard to make a clean cut in that case. Too bad, Antarctica is a stunner. But the Snowflakes is cool too! Soilbean's example is fantastic (and those pendants - swoon!).

Not Super White ... NEW Super White Quartzite. Opinions?

Beautiful slab. I can only dream as that would look perfect in my kitchen. About how many sq feet are you having. I was hoping to keep our counters (65 sq ft) coming in at about $5000. We have splurged on appliances. I am a sucker for nice appliances. Was thinking $6000 for appliances, came in about $16,000. Oh well moderate countertops will look great next to my range. New super white and polar white marble come in right on target. Waiting to hear about Mont Blanc and a couple calacattas which are most likely too expensive.

That is beautiful...very envious! I see all these awesome slabs that I would buy in a heartbeat on this site...I go on 200-mile-radius road trips and find nothing like the slabs others have shared. I think I have become more "discriminating" because on all the beautiful slabs I have seen here! I am getting discouraged...big sigh!

That is gorgeous, looks like a stormy ocean. Wish I could help, but I've never seen it. Very limited selection where I live.

I just saw this and am considering for my kitchen; has anyone used it since this was originally posted? (I also saw it in Ft. Lauderdale, so it must be a name that the particular yard puts on it)
