When it’s Super White!
I have no idea how this quartzite from Brazil got the same Super White, because it really doesn’t look very white at all, does it? Well, whether you call it Super White or Fantabulous Grey, I LOVE IT! Now I need to convince hubby that this is the perfect stone for the vanity countertop in our master bathroom.

I discovered Super White quartzite in this post about alternatives to white marble by Steph at Granite Gurus. She also wrote this post all about Super White. Quartzite is less prone to staining and etching than calcium-based stones like marble and limestone and travertine. That makes it a good choice for people like hubby and me who tend to get as much toothpaste onto the countertop as we get onto our toothbrushes.

From what I can tell, Super White is also sold under the name White Fantasy. One comment I came across is that White Fantasy is more veiny and Super White is more like ice chunks. But being a natural stone, that difference could be because of when and where the slabs were quarried.

I found a couple of awesome slabs of Super White at The Granite Shop here in Ottawa. Hubby is willing to go take a look at them, so that’s a good sign :-) So far, we’ve agreed on the tub, the toilet {which hubby just ordered}, and the moonstone floor tiles. Fingers crossed he’s a Super White kinda guy, as opposed to that other super kinda guy…

Happy weekend!
