Avocatus

Avocatus quartzite is the kind of stone that stops people mid-conversation. Quarried exclusively in Brazil, this magnificent material presents a deeply saturated palette of dark forest-green and olive tones, punctuated by dramatic bright white calcite inclusions that scatter across the surface like clouds against a primordial landscape. It's bold, confident, and utterly unlike anything else in the natural stone world. Despite its exotic appearance, Avocatus delivers serious practical performance. As a high-strength quartzite with Mohs 7 hardness, it is highly resistant to heat, scratches, etching, and stains — making it a genuinely viable choice for kitchen worktops, not just decorative surfaces. It's available in polished, honed, and leathered finishes, each revealing the stone's rich green depths in slightly different ways. At In2stone, we believe that a stone this extraordinary deserves expert handling. Our craftsmen take real pride in working with slab-of-the-century stones like Avocatus — carefully positioning each piece to maximise the visual impact of those dramatic white inclusions against the deep green canvas. The result is a worktop that feels less like a functional surface and more like a work of art.
