Amazonite Extra

Amazonite Extra Quartzite, sourced from deep within the Brazilian rainforests, is a rare and exquisite stone that exudes an otherworldly beauty.

Often referred to as “Turquoise Quartzite” in the marketplace, Amazonite Extra is favored for creating focal points in both residential and commercial designs. Its unique color palette and striking appearance make it ideal for contemporary spaces that seek a natural yet bold aesthetic. Amazonite Extra is celebrated not only for its stunning looks but also for its hardness and durability, making it an excellent choice for countertops, accent walls, and statement islands.
