The Stone

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

Style:

Veined Natural Polished

Refined silver-grey quartzite from southern Bahia — mica-kissed golden veins threading through a cool, cosmopolitan palette.

Gabana quartzite is sophistication distilled into stone. Quarried in southern Bahia, Brazil by Super Clássico, this refined quartzite features a pale, silvery grey-green base laced with intricate veins of white and warm golden-amber that trace delicate, organic paths across its polished surface. The natural mica content gives the golden veining a subtle metallic shimmer that catches the light in the most captivating way. Often compared to marble for its visual refinement, Gabana delivers something marble cannot — true quartzite hardness. With low porosity and excellent thermal stability, it shrugs off the daily demands of a busy kitchen without compromising its elegant appearance. The fine, complex vein network creates enough visual interest to keep the surface fascinating, while the restrained colour palette keeps it beautifully versatile. In2stone recommends Gabana for homeowners who appreciate understated luxury. Our craftsmen's precision with fine-veined stones ensures that the delicate golden pathways remain uninterrupted across joins, and that the cool silver-grey base reads as one continuous, flowing surface. It's a stone that suits kitchens and bathrooms equally, working well with fireplaces, wall features, and floor applications too.

Frequently Asked

Questions About Gabana

What gives Gabana quartzite its distinctive shimmer?
The golden shimmer visible in Gabana's veining comes from natural mica content within the stone. Mica is a group of silicate minerals that form thin, reflective sheets during the metamorphic process. When light hits these mica inclusions, they produce a subtle metallic gleam that gives the warm golden-amber veins their captivating, luminous quality — a feature that photographs rarely capture fully.
What interior style does Gabana quartzite suit best?
Gabana's silvery grey-green palette with golden accents makes it exceptionally versatile. It excels in contemporary, Scandinavian, and transitional kitchens. The cool grey-green base pairs beautifully with pale grey, soft sage, or muted blue-green cabinetry. The golden mica veining creates a lovely connection with brass or gold hardware. For bathrooms, it brings a spa-like quality that feels calm yet luxurious.
Is Gabana quartzite as durable as it is beautiful?
Absolutely. Despite its marble-like refinement, Gabana is genuine quartzite with exceptional durability. It has low porosity, meaning it naturally resists liquid absorption. Its excellent thermal stability means hot pans won't cause damage. And its quartzite hardness far exceeds marble, making it resistant to scratches from daily kitchen use. It combines visual delicacy with material toughness.
Where is Gabana quartzite quarried?
Gabana is quarried in southern Bahia, Brazil by a company called Super Clássico. Bahia is one of Brazil's most important quartzite-producing states, renowned for yielding stones with distinctive colour palettes and high-quality mineral compositions. The quartzite deposits in this region were formed during the Precambrian era, making them hundreds of millions of years old.
How do you maintain Gabana quartzite worktops?
Gabana requires straightforward care typical of all quartzite surfaces. Seal annually with an impregnating stone sealer — this creates an invisible protection layer against staining. Clean daily with warm water and pH-neutral soap using a soft cloth. Avoid acidic cleaners like vinegar or lemon-based products. Gabana's low porosity actually makes it one of the easier natural stones to maintain in a busy kitchen.
★★★★★
"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!"
