The Stone

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

Colour:

Green Grey White

Costa Esmeralda is a beautifully textured Brazilian quartzite, blending soft sage-green and silver-grey with soothing, organic movement.

Costa Esmeralda truly is a gift from nature, a quartzite with a beautifully textured surface that immediately draws the eye. Its base unfolds in soft, muted sage-green and silver-grey, graced by intricate, swirling mineral formations and delicate white crystalline veining that flows throughout its polished surface. This gentle, all-over green-grey movement evokes a serene, almost sea-glass quality, infusing spaces with a soothing, organic character. Its rare, subdued green tonality and refined texture make it an elegant choice for luxury worktops seeking distinctive, nature-inspired colour.

We source Costa Esmeralda from the geological heart of Brazil, a land renowned for its exceptional natural stones. Like all true quartzites, this stunning material began its journey millions of years ago as quartz-rich sandstone, deep within the Earth's crust. Under immense heat and pressure, this sandstone transformed through regional metamorphism, recrystallising into an incredibly dense and durable interlocking mosaic of quartz crystals. This natural process is what gives quartzite its remarkable Mohs hardness of 7, making it one of the most resilient surfaces available.

For your kitchen worktops, bathroom vanities, or even a striking splashback, Costa Esmeralda offers not just breathtaking beauty but also unwavering performance. Its inherent hardness means exceptional resistance to scratches and heat, standing up to the rigours of daily life. While naturally low in porosity, we always recommend sealing your quartzite to ensure its excellent stain resistance, reflecting our commitment to lasting quality and honest care. At In2Stone, we're passionate about hand-templating and fitting these extraordinary stones, ensuring every join and edge highlights the material's unique character, offering you a truly luxury result with honest pricing.

Frequently Asked

Questions About Costa Esmeralda

What gives Costa Esmeralda its unique visual appeal?
Costa Esmeralda stands out with its beautifully textured surface and a soft, muted sage-green and silver-grey base. It features intricate, swirling mineral formations and fine white crystalline veining, creating an all-over green-grey movement that evokes a soothing, organic, almost sea-glass quality.
Which kitchen styles would best complement Costa Esmeralda quartzite?
Its refined texture and subdued green tonality make Costa Esmeralda ideal for kitchens seeking a sophisticated, nature-inspired feel. It pairs beautifully with natural wood cabinetry for a rustic luxury look, or with crisp white and metallic accents for a contemporary, elegant design. It also complements earthy tones and matte finishes.
How durable is Costa Esmeralda quartzite, and what care does it require?
As a true quartzite with a Mohs hardness of 7, Costa Esmeralda offers exceptional durability, including outstanding scratch and heat resistance. While it has low porosity, we recommend sealing it regularly to maintain its excellent stain resistance. For daily cleaning, simply use warm water and a mild, pH-neutral cleaner.
Where does Costa Esmeralda quartzite come from, and how is it formed?
Costa Esmeralda quartzite is quarried in Brazil. It's a metamorphic rock formed deep within the Earth when quartz-rich sandstone is subjected to intense heat and pressure. This process recrystallizes the quartz grains into an interlocking mosaic, giving the stone its incredible density, hardness, and unique patterns over millions of years.
How does Costa Esmeralda quartzite compare to other natural stone worktops like granite or marble?
Costa Esmeralda quartzite offers a unique balance, combining the aesthetic beauty of marble with the exceptional durability of granite, and often surpassing granite in hardness and scratch resistance. Unlike marble, true quartzite is highly resistant to etching from acidic foods. While a premium material, we ensure honest pricing for our expert supply and installation.
★★★★★
"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!"
