Calacatta Gold Quartzite, a stunning natural stone from Brazil, imitates the classic appearance of Italian Calacatta marbles but offers enhanced durability, making it perfect for kitchen countertops. Unlike marble, these quartzites resist scratching and etching, ensuring long-lasting beauty and functionality. The vein-cut version, known as Macaubus White, shares the same resilient qualities. Epoxy resin is applied during polishing to fill natural imperfections, maintaining the stone’s durability and allure. Some tiny pits may reopen during finishing, but this does not impact the stone’s overall quality. For projects requiring book-matched slabs, inspecting them beforehand is crucial, as the crosscutting nature of Calacatta Gold Quartzite might result in non-matching consecutive slabs.
