Perhaps you’re familiar with stone types like marble and quartzite but don’t know much about the different varieties available. Or maybe you’re looking for a strong, durable surface material in neutral hues that pair with other design elements, but you also want exciting patterns for extra visual appeal. If this sounds like you, Fantasy Macaubas Quartzite is right up your alley.

This versatile and breathtaking variety of quartzite has loads of functional appeal and spectacular veining throughout to bring depth and movement to your living spaces. But what does this gorgeous natural stone look like, and how can you add it to your interior design?

Character That Won’t Quit

Quartzite is often prized for its neutral hues and soothing demeanor. If you’re looking for a little more excitement, you’ll love Fantasy Macaubas Quartzite. It delivers the neutral palette many homeowners prefer, paired with striking striations that imbue your design with edgy appeal.

Quarried in Brazil, this quartzite variety features a background in shades of soft creams, grays, and beiges, setting the scene for soothing vibes. However, subtlety is not in the cards for this fantastical stone. Veining ranging from delicate threads to thick, ropy strands slices the surface in hues of silver, beige, gold, brown, charcoal, and even pinks and greens, depending on the slab.

Patterns may run in relatively linear striations or bend and twist like whitewater rapids in a raging river. Each slab features unique characteristics, allowing you to choose the ideal statement style for your kitchen, bath, or other home remodeling project.

Pairing Versatile Fantasy Macaubas Quartzite

A bold kitchen countertop, backsplash, or flooring surface can dominate your design. But the neutral shades of Fantasy Macaubas Quartzite allow you to dictate the role it plays in your home. You can certainly make it the star of the show by choosing a bold pattern for an expansive space like a:

• Kitchen counter and backsplash 
• Waterfall island 
• Wet room enclosure
• Feature wall fireplace

With both warm and cool hues, this stone variety pairs with literally any color palette, from neutrals to warm or cool shades. 

For the greatest impact, consider contrasting elements like cabinets in rich shades of espresso or navy to draw on browns or charcoals in the veining. As for fixtures, bright gold will stand out beautifully and help to create a modern, statement style.

Optimal Function for Busy Homes

Quartzite is a metamorphic rock formed when materials rich in quartz are exposed to extreme heat and pressure. The result is an incredibly strong and durable structure that delivers the outstanding function busy households require.

When you choose Fantasy Macaubas Quartzite, you’ll enjoy a surface material for your home that’s resistant to damage from heat, UV rays, moisture, scratching, etching, staining, cracking, and chipping. This makes it perfect for a range of indoor and outdoor countertop applications, including countertops, backsplashes, flooring, shower enclosures, fireplace surrounds, and more.

Maintaining Your Fantasy Macaubas Quartzite Surfaces

To ensure longevity when you choose natural stone surfaces, you’ll want to properly clean and maintain them. Although quartzite features low porosity, all stone is somewhat porous. For that reason, it’s important to reseal regularly to prevent potential damage. How often you seal will depend on usage, but many homeowners seal surfaces annually as part of their home maintenance routine.

For daily cleaning, you’ll need little more than warm water and a soft cloth or sponge. Warm water and gentle dish soap are ideal for grime and food splatter. Alternatively, you can opt for a spray-and-wipe cleanser designed for use on natural stone. Some contain agents that help to preserve the seal as well.
