The Stone
See the natural beauty of Calacatta Gold Shimmer up close — the surface texture, colour depth, and veining that make this quartz unique.
Bright white quartz with bold dark grey flowing marble veining — a classic, confidently dramatic surface.
Nilestone Calacatta Gold Shimmer delivers bold marble drama through confident flowing veining. Its bright white base carries moderately dense veining with organic flowing movement predominantly diagonal and horizontal with intersecting and branching patterns. The veins range from lighter softer grey to prominent dark warm grey occasionally appearing almost black, varying from fine threads to medium strokes and broader diffuse patches. The polished finish reflects light clearly without speckling or granular texture. Despite its name suggesting gold tones, the vision analysis reveals predominantly grey-to-dark-grey veining. The 'shimmer' quality comes from the polished finish's light-reflecting properties across the flowing vein patterns. Engineered from 93% natural quartz with polymer resins. Non-porous, scratch resistant (Mohs 7), NSF and Greenguard certified. 15-year warranty. Supplied and installed by In2Stone across Hampshire.

"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!"— Ashley ChapmanGoogle Review
