The Stone

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

Colour:

Blue Grey Gold

A tempestuous storm of blue-grey, silver, and golden-amber — nature's most atmospheric quartzite.

Blue Tempest quartzite captures the raw energy of a gathering storm. This spectacular Brazilian stone features a swirling blue-grey and silver base laced with bold sweeping formations of warm golden-amber and olive-green veining, while pockets of warm rose-beige crystalline material punctuate the cool blue-grey expanses. The result is a multi-layered, tempestuous landscape in stone — atmospheric, powerful, and constantly surprising. With a Mohs hardness of 7 and properties that exceed granite, Blue Tempest delivers serious durability beneath its dramatic appearance. It's available in an unusually wide range of finishes — polished, honed, leathered, sawn cut, sandblasted, and tumbled — each revealing the stormy colour interplay in different ways. The polished finish maximises the vivid colour contrasts, while leathered creates a more subtle, tactile experience. In2stone considers Blue Tempest a truly special stone for customers who want their kitchen to feel alive with natural energy. Our craftsmen work with the directional flow of the golden veining against the blue-grey clouds, ensuring the tempestuous movement sweeps naturally across your worktop surface.

Frequently Asked

Questions About Blue Tempest

What colours make up Blue Tempest quartzite?
Blue Tempest features a stormy palette of blue-grey and silver as the base, with bold sweeping formations of warm golden-amber and olive-green veining. Pockets of rose-beige crystalline material add further depth. The overall effect resembles a dramatic storm sky with golden light breaking through.
What finishes are available for Blue Tempest quartzite?
Blue Tempest is available in an unusually wide range of finishes: polished, honed, leathered, sawn cut, sandblasted, and tumbled. Polished maximises the vivid colour drama, leathered creates a tactile subtle effect, and honed offers a contemporary matte. Each finish transforms the stone's personality.
Is Blue Tempest quartzite hard enough for daily kitchen use?
More than hard enough. At Mohs 7, Blue Tempest is harder than granite and resists scratches, heat, and acidic kitchen spills with ease. Its dramatic appearance belies genuine toughness — this is a stone that handles busy family kitchens while looking like a gallery piece.
Is Blue Tempest related to Dark Tempest quartzite?
They share a name and both come from Brazilian quarry formations, but they're quite different stones. Blue Tempest has a predominantly blue-grey and silver palette with golden veining, while Dark Tempest features a near-black base with white and golden accents. Both are excellent quartzites with Mohs 7 hardness.
How do you maintain Blue Tempest quartzite worktops?
Simple daily cleaning with warm water and pH-neutral soap. Seal annually to maintain stain resistance. The multi-toned colour palette is forgiving with everyday marks — blue-grey and gold tones hide minor blemishes better than solid-coloured surfaces. Avoid acidic cleaners and abrasive pads.
★★★★★
"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!"
