I can’t speak to the MSI stone, but we have the calacatta gold and really like it. It is very white and the veining is more subtle than the other fake marble quartzes we saw. It was expensive, but since we used it for our backsplash and counter we decided to splurge.

It really is so odd...I called about 5 local fabricators and no one seems to have that particular style (and I'm even willing to compromise and find something close) because this piece is detached from the other counters (the little one on the right). I'll keep at it, though, it sounds like this is the route to take. Thanks...I thought I was barking up wrong tree! (replacing the black laminate with Trevi quartz, and trying to avoid buying a 2nd slab for 13"!)

I found this thread when searching on Houzz for Calacatta Ida, just saying thanks to everyone for the information sharing! I have a few quartz colors by MSI that I'm considering (and a few by Cosmos). Since I think this thread is about a year old, I was curious if there was an updated list of the MSI quartz colors that use Breton technology, so I emailed MSI. After a few frustrating email exchanges (the customer service rep on the email had no idea what I was asking for based on her replies) someone from MSI called me and said they do not give out the list because it is proprietary information She said once I narrow down my choices I can email them a list of colors I'm considering and they will let me know which of those use Breton. She also tried to tell me that it doesn't matter if it uses Breton, all MSI quartz are covered by the same warranty, but I feel if the product is superior to begin with (and fabricated and installed correctly) there is less chance of something going wrong and needing to use the warranty! Plus in my experience, many companies make it very hard to use the warranty, they come up with excuses. Just my opinion. Again thanks to all contributors on this post, very helpful with my decision making! :-)

thank you @MinnesotaMary! This is very helpful. Your daughter's kitchen is gorgeous. I'm glad to hear you say that there is some warmth to it because I definitely was hoping for that. Also, I want something with subtle veins because the usual Calacattas with huge grey veins doesn't suit me - this feels more "real" to me! I've been to see so many slabs including Silestone, Cambria, etc and i really wanted to go with one of the "high end" quartz brands but I keep liking this MSI one the best!
