The Stone
See the natural beauty of Carrara Shimmer up close — the surface texture, colour depth, and veining that make this quartz unique.
Cool off-white quartz with dense fine grey thread-like veining and speckled texture — a delicately intricate surface.
Nilestone Carrara Shimmer refines the Carrara concept into dense, delicate intricacy. Its cool off-white base is intricately detailed with a dense random pattern of fine thread-like veining in light cool grey to slightly darker muted grey creating a speckled or granular appearance across the entire slab. The smooth finish appears polished or honed without obvious deep texture. Carrara Shimmer differs from standard Carrara — where Carrara has flowing warm grey veins, Shimmer has denser, finer, cooler veining creating an overall textured quality rather than defined vein patterns. The surface reads as a finely textured natural stone. 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
