Calacatta Brazil quartzite is a white stone from Macaubas, a region in Bahia. It is highly prevalent in modern interiors due to its elegant appearance resembling the timeless Calacatta marble but with superior stain resistance and durability.
It is a prevalent worktop material for various interior design applications, including worktops, vanities, focal walls, extra-large tiled floorings, kitchen shelves, plinths and more.
Calacatta Brazil quartzite is known for its distinctive white backdrop with grey veins resembling brushstrokes on a painting, perfect for creating stylish areas that ooze extravagance and exoticism.
Calacatta Brazil quartzite worktops offer a background colour that varies between light grey and cloudy-transparent ochre hues, intersecting transversely with bold and more delicate veining.
At the same time, the horizontally running golden-brownish veins make it even more striking. Calacatta Brazil quartzite is the cross cut-version of White Macaubas, two highly durable stones that can effortlessly withstand the daily demands of busy kitchens, even in commercial projects.
In addition, Calacatta Brazil is more resistant to heat and scratches than Calacatta marble, making it an alternative to Italian stone for use in the kitchen. It is also suitable for use in bathrooms, as walls, bathtub surrounds, entire flooring, and any worktop.
Our Calacatta Brazil quartzite worktop is available in polished and honed finishes, in different thicknesses, and in book-matched slabs for designs as focal features in high-end interiors.

Quick Installation & Connect Rooms with extra-large slabs

Enhance kitchens and living areas and protect rooms.
Marble worktops are currently limited to acidic foods and immediate spillages of ingredients like vinegar or lemon. Choosing quartzite will change that. Our Calacatta Brazil quartzite worktop allows any cooking ingredients on its surface and can effortlessly resist citrus. Natural quartzite will work similarly to natural granite, which is volcanic and not affected by sour or caustic substances.
Easy Maintenance
- Simple cleaning with neutral soap and water
- The sealants required for kitchen worktops are inexpensive and easy to apply without expertise.
- Its surface, low in porosity, prolongs sealant applications from 12 to 24 to 36 months for typical usage.

Calacatta Brazil quartzite originates from Macaubas, a region in the Brazilian State of Bahia renowned for its prosperous collection of natural quartzite materials, including Macaubas White and Macaubas Gold, and Blue Macaubas, among other notable stones.
The main contrast between Calacatta Brazil quartzite and Calacatta marble is their mineral composition. Marble is a metamorphic rock primarily comprising calcium carbonate, whereas quartzite is a metamorphic rock composed almost entirely of the mineral quartz. Calacatta marble has a distinctive beauty with its veining patterns. However, it can be affected by acidic substances. Calacatta Brazil quartzite offers a similar bold vein but is usually resilient to acids and more resistant to scratches and heat than marble.
