The Stone

Style:

Veined Natural Polished

Part of Brazil's celebrated Macaubas family — flowing grey and warm taupe-gold veining over a pristine white ground, like abstract watercolour in stone.

Fantasy Macaubas quartzite belongs to one of the most celebrated quartzite families in the world. Quarried in Brazil and also known as Macaubas Fantasy, White Fantasy, or Bianco Macauba, this stunning stone has earned its reputation through an extraordinary combination of visual elegance and genuine natural durability. Its bright, pristine white base serves as a canvas for gentle, flowing veins of soft grey and warm taupe-gold that trace organic paths reminiscent of water flowing across marble — yet this is quartzite, with a hardness and resilience that marble simply cannot match. Formed millions of years ago when quartz-rich sandstone was subjected to intense heat and pressure deep within the Earth's crust, Fantasy Macaubas represents metamorphism at its most refined. The result is a stone with over 90% quartz content, giving it a Mohs hardness of 7 and exceptional resistance to scratches, heat, and the acidic spills that would etch a marble surface within moments. In2stone recommends Fantasy Macaubas for homeowners who adore the look of classic Italian marble but need a surface that can truly stand up to daily kitchen life. Our team's expert fabrication ensures that every vein pattern flows naturally across joins and that edge profiles are finished to the highest standard. It's timeless, practical, and undeniably beautiful.

Frequently Asked

Questions About Fantasy Macaubas

What does Fantasy Macaubas quartzite look like in person?
Fantasy Macaubas features a luminous, pristine white base with elegant flowing veins of soft grey and warm taupe-gold. The veining traces gentle, organic paths across the polished surface, creating a marble-like quality with understated sophistication. Many people mistake it for a high-end Italian marble at first glance — it has that same timeless elegance, but with quartzite's superior hardness and durability.
How does Fantasy Macaubas compare to real marble for kitchen worktops?
Fantasy Macaubas gives you the visual elegance of marble with dramatically better practical performance. At Mohs 7, it is roughly twice as hard as most marbles (Mohs 3-5). It resists acid etching — so lemon juice, vinegar, and wine won't leave marks the way they would on marble. It also handles heat far better and is significantly more scratch-resistant. For anyone who loves the marble look but needs kitchen-grade toughness, it's the ideal compromise.
Is Fantasy Macaubas part of the Macaubas quartzite family?
Yes — Fantasy Macaubas is one of several celebrated stones in the Brazilian Macaubas quartzite family, which also includes Blue Macaubas, Calacatta Macaubas, and White Macaubas. These stones are quarried from related geological formations in Brazil and share exceptional metamorphic qualities, though each has its own distinctive colour palette and veining character.
Can Fantasy Macaubas quartzite be used outdoors?
Yes. As a natural quartzite, Fantasy Macaubas is completely UV-stable — it will not yellow or fade in sunlight, unlike engineered quartz surfaces. Combined with excellent weather resistance and low water absorption, it performs beautifully in outdoor kitchens, barbecue areas, and covered patio worktops. It's one of the few premium natural stones that looks as good outside as inside.
How often does Fantasy Macaubas quartzite need sealing?
We recommend sealing Fantasy Macaubas annually, which is standard for all quartzite worktops. The process is simple — apply an impregnating stone sealer, let it soak in, then wipe off the excess. It takes minutes and provides excellent protection against staining for a full year. Between sealing, clean daily with warm water and pH-neutral cleaner, and blot up any spills promptly.
★★★★★
"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!"
