Caravaggio Quartzite Slab – Leather Finish Quartzite, Smoky Grey & Gold Leathered | BC STONE Sydney
Caravaggio Quartzite Slab: Brazilian quartzite in a tactile leather finish, smoky greys with rustic gold tones—durable surfaces for benchtops, splashbacks and walls.
Caravaggio Quartzite Slab brings a wild, painterly energy to interiors: sweeping strokes of smoky grey cut with streams of rustic gold and cool notes of beige, reading bold yet sophisticated—especially in a tactile leathered finish that keeps glare low and texture quietly present. Harder than many marbles and naturally resistant to heat and scratches, this Brazilian quartzite is built for daily use: on kitchen benchtops, statement splashbacks, feature wall cladding, vanity tops and refined flooring it holds detail without shouting. The movement maps beautifully across bookmatched pairs, while vein-aligned mitres let islands and tall panels read as one continuous composition. Pair with brushed nickel or stainless to emphasise the cool spectrum, or echo the warm ribbons with brass/bronze; pale oaks and chalky paints keep the palette balanced so the stone leads. Care is simple—seal on installation, clean with pH-neutral products and reseal periodically in high-use zones—so Caravaggio Quartzite maintains its atmospheric presence and tactile depth over time. Visit the BC STONE Sydney showroom to see this unique slab and take advantage of custom solutions that will elevate your space.

FAQ
Q: What defines Caravaggio’s look?
A: Painterly movement: sweeping smoky greys with rustic-gold ribbons and cool green/blue notes. In a leathered finish it reads bold yet low-glare.
Q: Honed vs leathered vs polished—what’s different?
A: Leathered is softly textured/low-glare; honed is smooth/low-glare; polished is high-reflection. Choose by look, light and maintenance.
Q: Is the leather finish practical for kitchens?
A: Yes. Leathered quartzite is tactile and masks fingerprints better than polished surfaces. Seal properly and clean with pH-neutral products.
Q: How does quartzite compare to marble or granite?
A: It combines marble-like veining with granite-level hardness and heat/scratch resistance—great for benchtops, splashbacks and wall panels.
Q: Can I use Caravaggio outdoors?
A: In many climates, yes. Quartzite is dense and UV/heat resistant. Use the right sealer, plan for runoff, and follow local slip/maintenance guidelines.
Q: Can the pattern be bookmatched or vein-aligned?
A: Yes. Caravaggio’s directional veining bookmatches well; mitred corners with vein alignment create a continuous read on islands and tall panels.
Q: What’s the basic care routine?
A: Seal on installation, wipe spills promptly, use pH-neutral cleaner, avoid acids/abrasives, and reseal periodically in high-use zones.
