You'll find it much easier to find two sequential slabs and a fabricator with a CNC machine than finding a slab with those dimensions.

Forget finding a slab that size and start thinking about a book matched pair.

Regarding Super White, some is marble but some is quartzite. The only way to be sure is to test the specific slab in question.

I echo the others - that size slab is going to be impossible to find. Bookmatched is the way to go.

Our quartzite slabs (Azul do Mar) were 124 x 64. I think that is about as big as one can find - and at that we were pleasantly surprised to get them that large. We were about ready to buy book matched slabs instead but the dealer found that they had some larger slabs at another yard over 100 miles away.

Slabs over 6 foot wide (or what ever you want to call the short direction) are rare and slabs 10 foot long are rare. You want one more than 6' wide (closer to 6 and a half) and 10' long.

That may not exist at all. If it does, it becomes a matter of going around and finding what slabs are big enough without being picky about color, then picking the one you like best of that selection - not it has to be white with no tan.

By the way - are you tall with a long reach? The middle of a 6 foot deep counter is difficult to reach to clean for many people.

Thanks for the advice, however I really want this stone. there are tons of stones available in this size but I can't find WP. I found a great White Macaubus (little creamier than I wanted) and I will probably end up with it if I can't locate the WP. Cloud_Swift, I have 6 kids and I have learned over the years that everyone wants a friend. This island is a gathering place not only for adults but kids. I can make is a little smaller but I still want to find a white quartzite, not a marble to use.

Have you considered Calacatta Quartzite? Several of the slabs in the link below would cover your dimensions. I haven't seen this stone in person, but did test a sample and it does appear to be a true quartzite.

Liesl123- those are great slabs! I haven't tried that stone yet but I will now. Thanks!

How do you test to see if Super White is quartzite or marble?

cedar_lane- I have to say that I knew nothing about stones until I read Karin_mt's expertise. Check them about and I'm sure you will be truly confused like I was at first.

The problem with these stones is that yards will sell them to you as granite, when they are quartzite or even marble and most of the time people like me would say "Ok" and take their word. I have been carrying around a snapple bottle to every yard I go to. If the stone scratches it, it is quartzite or granite. If it doesn't it's too soft of a stone like marble, soapstone, travertine etc. I then grab a sample of the stone and do some etch testing on home- pour some vinegar, wine, lemons and see how it hold ups. Now don't get me wrong I love marble and would do it in a heart beat but my kids will ruin it. So, I have to find something that is hard enough to withstand the beating my family will give.

not sure what part of NJ you're in, but I struck out in a million places in and around Essex County. However, I LOVE the yard I ended up finding my slab from - NY Stone in Jersey City. They had a vast and beautiful supply of slabs, the staff were super nice and accommodating and it was an all around great experience.

Good luck!!
