Botero quartzite

Product Description

Botero quartzite is a natural stone quarried in Espirito Santo, Brazil near the capital of Vitoria. The material displays a light-to-mid grey backdrop blended with a rich array of interwoven veins in dark grey, providing a classic look to its surface. Botero is a versatile stone that works well in contemporary and traditional designs as well as in industrial and urban settings.

Botero quartzite offers a variant to other stone within the family, namely to Bianco Eclipse and Superwhite quartzite by offering a surface with a more subtle vein that will suit delicate designs without overpowering its surroundings. Botero is one of the toughest stones within the quartzite family and lends itself to the most demanding tasks in kitchens as well as other areas that will  undergo traffic and floorings in bathrooms and vanity tops. The lack of calcium in the material makes it impervious to acidic foods and liquids such as lemons which are commonly associated with etching of marble products that contain high levels of calcium.

Botero is classified as a granite in the USA and China but as a quartzite in the Continent, according to EU regulation in the classification of natural stones, which are allocated according to the mineral constitution of each material.

Botero quartzite comes in slabs with thicknesses of 20mm and 30mm and with dimensions covering an approximate area of six square meters which many times will cover the requirements of a small to medium sized room.
