About Cristallo

Sourced from the heart of Brazil, Cristallo is an exquisite quartzite prized for its translucent, crystalline appearance. This natural stone features a luminous white to ivory background, often accented by delicate gold, coffee, or rose-toned veining. Unlike marble, Cristallo is exceptionally hard, reaching a 7 or 8 on the Mohs scale, making it highly resistant to scratches and heat—ideal for high-end kitchen countertops and vertical applications. A remarkable characteristic of this stone is its semi-transparency; when backlit, the intricate internal layers and dimensions of the quartz are beautifully illuminated, creating a breathtaking, glowing centerpiece in any luxury architectural project.
