Oh no the sparkle is definitely very subtle. In the 9x13 sample I have there are only a few of those sparkly flecks so its not very noticeable really unless the light hits it right. It’s not at all like those other “sparkle” quartzes. I had my heart set on it was so sad when I discovered it’s more off-white 😢 the Stonemark I assume is the same as the MSI Perla White (I feel like stonemark and msi must be the same company?) and I considered that too but up close it was just too cloudy looking, imo.

The wainscoting would be white, the walls Sea Salt. The house is a ranch style built 30 years ago. We are renovating the entire house. So far we have but in Cortec luxury vinyl in a beach drift wood look. Kitchen will be white with Silestone quartz in Calcutta Gold. BS to be determined. Dining room, living room is all open. The there is a small added on space that goes out to the lanai. Walls in main area will be a creamy off white. It's a formula that we are "stealing" from someone else's house. I would like to do beiges and blues for the furniture.

I am SO glad I found this post. Thank you Amy for starting it! I love soapstone but for many reasons it's not practical for our kitchen. The cabinet shop showed me the PentalQuartz in Sorona in Honed and Polished and I immediately liked the honed. Thank you for all of your insights and experiences. We have chosen similar cabinet design/color so it's super helpful to see your finished kitchen! Thanks again!

I installed one in my master bath about 10 years ago. Handblown glass - beautiful, but apparently the plumber tightened the fittings too much and it eventually shattered. I bought a replacement made of china, I think. I like it fine, but what I love about it is having the faucet come out of the wall instead of the sink or countertop. I hate cleaning around faucet bases and it seems the caulk always gets funky and grows mold under it. With it coming out of the wall, there is never water anywhere close to the area where the faucet meets the wall. I'd do it again in a heartbeat!
