The Stone

See the natural beauty of Andes Blue up close — the surface texture, colour depth, and veining that make this porcelain unique.

A dramatic deep sapphire blue porcelain with bold golden mineral veins — the raw power of Andean sodalite captured in an indestructible surface.

XTone Andes Blue channels the raw geological drama of South American sodalite into a large-format porcelain slab. The surface is dominated by intense sapphire and navy-blue tones, cut through with bold diagonal veins in warm gold and beige. Pockets of taupe and rust-brown mineral inclusions add further complexity, creating a surface that feels hewn from deep within the Andes. This is an unapologetically bold design — perfect for creating a dramatic kitchen island, a show-stopping bathroom feature wall, or a luxury bar top. Available in Nature and Polished finishes at 6mm thickness, Andes Blue delivers the visual impact of a rare natural mineral without any of the fragility.

Frequently Asked

Questions About Andes Blue

What makes Andes Blue unique in the XTone collection?
Andes Blue is one of the boldest and most distinctive surfaces in the XTone range — a deep sapphire and navy-blue design inspired by South American sodalite mineral, with dramatic diagonal veins of warm gold and beige cutting through the intense blue field. It is genuinely unlike any other surface in the collection.
Is Andes Blue suitable for a kitchen island?
Yes — Andes Blue at 6mm is ideal for a kitchen island when edge-profiled with a mitred detail. Its extraordinary colour makes for one of the most dramatic kitchen focal points available. Because it's porcelain, there's no risk of acid etching, staining, or heat damage despite the deep colour.
Where is Andes Blue typically used in interior design?
Andes Blue is predominantly used as a feature surface — a statement kitchen island, a dramatic bathroom feature wall, a luxury bar top, or a reception desk surface. Its bold character works best where it can command attention rather than be used as an all-over neutral background.
Is the blue in Andes Blue consistent across the full slab?
Andes Blue features natural colour variation across the slab — a characteristic of designs inspired by genuine mineral formations. Deep sapphire zones sit alongside lighter grey-blue areas, and the gold veins vary in width and intensity. This variation is intentional and enhances the authentic semi-precious stone character.
Can Andes Blue be used outdoors?
XTone Andes Blue in Nature finish has UV resistance rated 5/5 and is frost-resistant, making it technically suitable for covered outdoor areas and exterior features. We recommend consulting with our team before specifying it for open external applications as the Texture finish is the recommended choice for fully slip-resistant outdoor surfaces.
★★★★★
"Excellent Service and Beautiful Results - Highly Recommended! I recently had In2stone install new quartz worktops in my kitchen, and I couldn't be happier with the results. From start to finish, the experience was completely stress-free. The team was not only competitively priced but also incredibly friendly and professional throughout the entire process. They handled everything seamlessly - removing the existing sink, hob, and old laminate worktops before fitting the new quartz surfaces. The finished worktops are absolutely beautiful and have transformed my kitchen into a modern, minimalist space that I love spending time in. The quality of workmanship is outstanding, and the attention to detail really shows. I'm a very satisfied customer and would highly recommend In2stone to anyone considering new worktops. Well done to the entire team - you've exceeded my expectations!"
