Mont Blanc Quartzite Slab

Mont Blanc is a Brazilian quartzite running white through black and grey veining — a high-contrast, marble-like look with quartzite’s greater resistance to scratching and etching underneath it.

It suits kitchen benchtops, cladding, flooring and furniture, and is a genuine alternative for anyone who wants the visual drama of a bold white-and-black marble like Paonazzo without marble’s relative softness.

Quartzite is frequently chosen specifically as a marble alternative for exactly this reason — because it forms from sandstone fused under heat and pressure rather than recrystallised limestone, it can carry a very similar visual pattern to marble while being considerably harder and less prone to etching from everyday kitchen use.
