Silver Line Quartzite is an exotic and elegant natural stone quarried in Brazil. It features a striking silvery white background enriched with tasteful mineral streaks and flowy veins that vary from light to dark gray, creating a sophisticated and dynamic visual effect. The stone’s subtle shimmer and natural veining make it ideal for high-end design projects.

Texture and Pattern

Texture: Fine- to medium-grained, compact, with a naturally crystalline appearance that reflects light softly.

Pattern: Flowing, wave-like veins in shades of light to dark gray. Occasional subtle mineral inclusions add depth without overwhelming the clean background.

Surface feel: Smooth in polished or honed finishes; lightly textured in leathered or brushed finishes.

Maintenance

Easy to maintain with regular cleaning using pH-neutral stone cleaner.

Periodic sealing (typically once a year for high-use areas) is recommended to protect from staining.

Avoid harsh acids or abrasive cleaners.
