About Ocean Tide

Ocean Tide, also known as Marine Blue, is a captivating exotic quartzite quarried in Brazil. This natural stone is renowned for its iridescent smoked blue and blue-green hues, featuring dark, fluid veining that mirrors the rhythmic movement of the sea. Formed through intense geological pressure that transformed sandstone into crystallized quartz, it achieves a Mohs hardness of 7, offering superior resistance to heat and scratches. This makes it an ideal, low-maintenance alternative to marble for high-traffic areas like kitchen islands. A fascinating characteristic of Ocean Tide is its suitability for book-matching; when polished, adjacent slabs can be mirrored to create a seamless, symmetrical artwork of natural history.
