Prezio Stone Patagonia Quartzite Slab Program
Reviewed pricing, lead time, freight, and final configuration are confirmed during quote review before order release.
Patagonia looks less like a stone and more like a geological event: a cream field of coarse feldspar crystals shot through with black biotite webs and amber mineral pockets. Every slab is a one off composition, which is why designers treat it as functional art for islands, bars, and backlit feature walls.
Slabs run approx 105 x 65 in from sequential bundles. The crystal structure gives real depth under polish and a raw, mineral read when leathered; honed sits between. Because the composition swings dramatically between lots, allocation is always confirmed on current slab photography during quote review.
Highlights
- Coarse crystalline mosaic of cream feldspar, black webs, and amber pockets
- Every slab is a distinct natural composition
- Polished, honed, or leathered finish, selected at quote
- 2 cm and 3 cm gauged thicknesses
- Sequential lots; bookmatch pairs on request
- Lot photography approved before release

Installation and Care Notes
- Fabrication and installation by qualified stone professionals only; this program supplies material and sequencing documentation to your fabricator of record.
- Field template verification is required before cutting; nominal slab dimensions are planning figures and every lot is confirmed against the released slab list.
- Seam placement and vein flow direction are approved on drawings during quote review before fabrication begins.
- 2 cm tops require continuous plywood substrate or engineered support at spans and overhangs; 3 cm spans further and typically carries overhangs to 10 in without corbels, confirmed by the fabricator.
- Seal all faces and edges before grouting or first use, then follow the resealing cadence in the care schedule.
- Edge profile, sink and faucet cutouts, and backsplash heights are selected and priced at quote.
Program Support
- Every slab is graded on arrival and allocated from sequential bundles for consistency
- Current lot photography is issued for approval during quote review before any slab is released
- Support continues through templating and installation questions with your fabricator of record
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does Patagonia vary so much between photos?
The stone is a crystalline breccia; crystal size and the black to amber balance change across the quarry face. Your allocation is approved on photographs of the actual slabs, never stock imagery.
Is such a coarse stone durable?
Yes. It is quartz-feldspar based and handles kitchen duty well. Resin reinforcement common to this material class is normal and noted on lot documents; sealing at installation is standard.
Which finish should I specify?
Polished maximizes depth and is the classic choice; leathered emphasizes the mineral relief for a rawer read. Honed suits low sheen contemporary rooms.
Can it be backlit?
Select crystal-heavy slabs pass light in thinner gauges; suitability is confirmed per lot during quote review before committing the design.
