Download Brochure Download Maintenance GuidelinesKnown as Amazonite quartzite or Amazon stone, this spectacular green-blue material is, in fact, a gemstone. Yet, even though we found proof of the Egyptians’ use of it over two thousand years ago, there is no written history of Amazonite stone until the 1800s, when it was classified as an exclusive and rare natural stone.
Amazonite Quartzite: A Semi-Precious Stone For Exquisite Designs
Amazonite is a rare mineral in the Earth’s crust and occurs in many parts of the world. For example, many Amazonite quartzite worktop materials in the UK come from Paraíba in Brazil. However, the stone is also present in Russia, China, and the USA.
Greenish-blue and turquoise are the most prevalent colours in Amazonite quartzite, but the visible hue ranges from this green with a hint of yellow due to its lead content. In addition, greyish hues are sometimes present in green due to their oxygen content. Nevertheless, it led to a 2021 case study in Germany suggesting the stone is beneficial and that you can apply it to new wellness techniques, such as incorporating minerals into oils.
Is Amazonite a quartzite, granite, or gemstone?
Although this material is commercially a quartzite and sometimes granite, it is a jewellery stone. Amazonite belongs to the second order of industrial gemstones alongside other stunning materials we offer, including Agate, Pink Quartz, and smokey quartz.
Amazonite is suitable as a worktop material because of its significant silicon dioxide content (a form of quartz), which makes it more durable than other stones, such as marble or limestone.
Bring the Exotic Beauty of The Amazon Into Your Kitchen & Bathrooms
With an Amazonite countertop, you can enjoy the natural beauty of this unique stone every day in your kitchen or bathroom. This one-of-a-kind countertop will add a touch of luxury to any home. Amazonite is a beautiful, natural stone that is perfect for adding a luxurious look to your home with a truly unique look.
Although this is a highly distinctive stone, the good news is that Amazonite worktops, regardless of their many hues, provide refinement and indisputable longevity to your surfaces. The colour of this green and blue quartzite is simple to combine and create around, and it is also simple to clean and maintain its brilliant shine for a long time.
Stunning Combinations
For example, you can design an Amazonite kitchen island and combine it with black granite worktops and wooden cabinets to create a rustic and raw appearance. The green shades bring a forestall feel to the room, whilst the crystalline structure with a highly polished sheen on its fascia gives a rare luxurious effect.
When designing your kitchen worktops, pay close attention to patterns to avoid installing two opposing aesthetics. Pairing two alternatives with strong movement or veins might overburden your kitchen decor and divert the focus. If you’re inclined to busy patterns, go for an Amazonite kitchen backsplash. Then, add a solid white quartz worktop with a subtle design, such as Carrara quartz. It will ensure that neither worktop material competes against the other.
Increase Your Home’s Value With Unmatched Blue-Green Worktops
Selecting an Amazonite quartzite countertop will make your objective of adding value to your home as quick and effective as possible. Amazonite’s low water absorption rate of 0.53% makes it ideal for wet areas such as bathrooms, kitchens, and saunas. In addition, it boasts a density of 2.60 per kg/m3, meaning it is highly resistant to impact.
By having a durable stone worktop with unique natural beauty that is easy to care for, you will make both a design and an aesthetic statement whilst increasing the overall price of your home.
Amazonite quartzite empowers homeowners in London to focus on what matters the most in a kitchen or bathroom surface. -Hygiene, resistance to acids, heat and scratches, and excellent aesthetics.
Cons: Amazonite quartzite can be expensive and difficult to find. Its fascia sometimes contains fractures that are common in the stone. Everyone only sometimes understands it and wants a perfectly flawless work surface. However, the glassy look, veins, gems and natural imperfections make Amazonite a unique natural stone worktop.
