The Stone

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

Cosmic intensity frozen in stone — jet-black quartzite blazing with sweeping amber-gold and sienna striations.

Galaxy Storm quartzite is nature at its most theatrically dramatic. Quarried in Brazil, this extraordinary stone presents a magnificent jet-black base through which sweeping striations of amber-gold, deep sienna, and warm brown create bold, flowing formations that evoke the intensity of a galactic storm frozen in geological time. The contrast between the deep darkness and the luminous golden bands is breathtaking. Related to the Fantasy Black Gold, Magma Gold, and Patagonia Black quartzite families, Galaxy Storm represents the pinnacle of exotic quartzite aesthetics. Yet beneath the spectacle lies serious material substance: true quartzite hardness at Mohs 7, genuine heat resistance born from metamorphic formation at extreme temperatures, scratch resistance that surpasses granite, and complete UV stability. This is stone that performs as powerfully as it looks. In2stone considers Galaxy Storm one of the most visually striking natural stones available anywhere. Our craftsmen approach each slab as a unique work of art, positioning the dramatic golden-black formations to create maximum visual impact in your kitchen. Paired with the right cabinetry, Galaxy Storm doesn't just furnish a kitchen — it transforms one.

Frequently Asked

Questions About Galaxy Storm

What makes Galaxy Storm quartzite so visually dramatic?
Galaxy Storm features a magnificent jet-black base through which sweeping striations of amber-gold and deep sienna blaze across the polished surface. The extraordinary contrast between the deep black ground and the luminous golden bands creates a cosmic, almost celestial quality — like staring into a galactic storm. Every slab is uniquely patterned, making each installation a genuine one-of-a-kind piece of natural art.
What kitchen design works best with Galaxy Storm quartzite?
Galaxy Storm is a statement stone that demands centre stage. It pairs dramatically with rich, dark cabinetry — deep midnight blue, matte black, or espresso walnut — where the golden striations glow against the darkness. Brushed gold or warm brass hardware echoes the amber tones beautifully. Keep surrounding surfaces understated; this stone needs room to breathe. It works superbly as a feature island in an otherwise neutral kitchen.
Is Galaxy Storm quartzite purely decorative, or can it handle daily kitchen use?
Galaxy Storm is fully kitchen-grade despite its exotic appearance. As genuine quartzite with Mohs 7 hardness, it resists scratches from knives, handles direct heat from pans without scorching, and will not etch from acidic kitchen spills. Its performance actually surpasses granite in most measures. With annual sealing, it provides excellent stain resistance too. The dark base colour also hides everyday marks better than lighter stones.
Where does Galaxy Storm quartzite come from?
Galaxy Storm is quarried in Brazil, the world's leading source of exotic quartzite varieties. It belongs to a family of dramatic black-gold quartzites that includes related stones like Fantasy Black Gold, Magma Gold, and Patagonia Black. These stones formed from ancient sandstone deposits subjected to extreme heat and pressure over hundreds of millions of years deep within the Earth's crust.
Does the golden colour in Galaxy Storm quartzite fade over time?
No. The amber-gold and sienna colours in Galaxy Storm are caused by natural mineral inclusions — primarily iron oxides and other accessory minerals — permanently locked into the stone's crystalline structure during metamorphic formation. They cannot fade, bleach, or change colour. Natural quartzite is completely UV-stable unlike engineered quartz, so Galaxy Storm will look identical in direct sunlight, near windows, or outdoors for decades.
★★★★★
"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!"
