A translucent white quartzite with visible crystal in the surface — one of the hardest stones in the gallery, and the one most often specified where a slab needs to be lit from behind.
Quarried in Brazil. Crystallo is unusually crystalline even by quartzite standards, which is where both its name and its translucency come from.
A white to pale grey ground with a glassy, crystalline surface and a genuine softness to light — held against a lamp, a slab glows rather than blocking. Veining is generally fine and grey, sometimes warmed with gold and, in some lots, cooled with blue. The crystal structure is visible close up and is the main reason people choose it over a flatter white.
Benchtops and islands, splashbacks and vanities, and — most distinctively — backlit panels, bar fronts and feature walls, where the translucency does something no other white stone in the range does. It is very hard, which makes it practical in a kitchen and slow to fabricate.
Seal on installation and periodically thereafter. Crystallo is dense and comparatively forgiving, but it is still a natural stone: pH-neutral cleaner, no abrasive pads, and wipe spills rather than leaving them to sit.
The crystal. Crystallo is markedly more crystalline than most quartzites, which gives it a glassy surface and real translucency. Most white quartzites read as opaque stone; Crystallo transmits light.
Yes, and it is one of the few natural stones that genuinely rewards it. Translucency varies by lot and by thickness, so if backlighting is the plan, tell us — that slab is worth choosing against a light rather than on a rack.
It is hard stone, so cutting and polishing are slower and more demanding than for a marble and tooling wears faster. Use a stonemason who works with quartzite regularly.
It is far less reactive. Quartzite resists the acids that etch a marble benchtop — lemon juice, wine, some cleaning products — though it should still be sealed and spills should still be wiped.
Yes. 6 lots of Crystallo quartzite are in our Dandenong South gallery as at 10 October 2026. Stock on this page is generated from our live warehouse data, so what you see is what is on the racks.
We currently hold Crystallo in honed and polished and polished finishes. Finish availability changes with each shipment — the lots listed above are what is here now.
Slabs run up to roughly 3.3 × 2.0 metres, in 20mm thickness. Natural stone is cut block by block, so dimensions vary between lots — each lot above lists its own.
Yes, and we'd encourage it. Crystallo is on display at 37–39 Gaine Road, Dandenong South, open Monday to Friday 7:30am–4:30pm and Saturday 8:45am–2pm. Every lot is photographed individually so you can shortlist online first, then view the slabs in person.
