It does help. Thanks. I just saw another that I liked and was told it would be $30,000!! I need to adjust my taste t suit our budget.

Wow, which stone was that?

You sound like me. I won't know the prices of anything and will immediately be attracted to the most expensive one!

Kitchenkrazed09, it's called Quartzite Bianco. If only we'd win the lottery...

Oh, my gosh - $30,000! You remind me of when my daughter was in the 4-6 year old range and insisted on a trip through the china and crystal section of the department store every time we were there. She would invariably find the thing she just loved, and every time it was the most expensive thing in the department. This was before she learned about price tags and such. What can you say about champagne tastes?

This is also called Astral Dream. It's quarried in Australia.

I see this is an old thread. I have La Dolce Vita on hold at a stone yard. The owner told me it was from Australia, sent to Italy for polishing, labeled as quartzite. I remarked how it looked like marble, even on the side. Veining can be seen on the side of marble. Most quartzite looks like a plain stone on the side. After research, and finding the stone at other stone yards labeled as marble, I canceled the hold. My fabricator said they know the difference, especially when the saw hits it. But, quartzite costs more to fabricate. Anyone being sold a quartzite that is actually a marble could possibly be paying more for mislabeled product.
