Tempest Grey

Tempest Grey Quartzite offers a more nuanced interpretation of the Tempest family's dramatic character. Its deep, smoky blue-grey base provides a sophisticated, atmospheric foundation, while intricate networks of warm amber-gold and brown veining create a strikingly complex interplay of warm and cool tones. Where Tempest Black goes for maximum contrast and Tempest Blue for maximum colour, Tempest Grey finds a compelling middle ground — moodily sophisticated, richly layered, unmistakably exotic. Quarried in southwest Bahia, Brazil, from the same quarry region as Tempest Black and extracted with environmentally conscious methods, Tempest Grey is also known as Tempest Crystal and Dark Tempest Quartzite. Its exceptional density and Mohs 7 hardness deliver a level of practical performance that matches its visual ambition. The smoky blue-grey base colour and warm golden veining are both permanently embedded within the stone's crystalline structure — no fading, no colour change, no degradation over time. In2stone sees Tempest Grey as the ideal Tempest family member for clients who want exotic drama without the extremity of black or blue. Its warm-cool colour balance works beautifully in sophisticated contemporary kitchens with mixed-metal hardware — brushed brass echoing the gold veining, while brushed nickel complements the cool grey base. Dark timber cabinetry in walnut or smoked oak brings out the stone's depth, while pale grey units create a calming, tonal scheme. Our craftsmen value the stone's exceptional density, which produces particularly clean, precise cuts.
