Quartzite color
Sea Pearl is the quartzite people ask for when they want the calm of marble without the upkeep. Cool grey-green background, soft white and taupe veining, and a stone hard enough for a working kitchen. We template, fabricate and install it out of our Auburn shop across the Puget Sound.

Sea Pearl is quarried in Brazil and sold in bundles that vary more than most stones. Some bundles are almost silver-grey with fine white threading; others pull green and show wide, watery veining. That is why we lay out your exact slabs before cutting — seam placement and island layout make a bigger difference on Sea Pearl than on a uniform quartz.
Homeowners usually arrive comparing Sea Pearl to Carrara marble or a soft-veined quartz. Against marble, Sea Pearl wins on durability: it is a much harder stone that stands up better to daily kitchen use. Against quartz, it wins on depth and honesty of pattern, since the veining runs through real stone rather than a printed layer. The tradeoff is that it is natural, so it needs sealing and it costs more.
We digitally template after demo, review the layout with you, then cut, polish and set the tops. Typical timeline from template to install is one to two weeks. Edge profiles, mitered waterfalls, undermount sink cutouts and full-height slab backsplashes are all done in-house, and we seal the stone before we leave.
Yes. Sea Pearl is a true quartzite, so it is harder and more durable than softer stones while still reading soft and light like a marble. It handles daily cooking, hot pans set down briefly and heavy island use without issue when it is sealed properly.
It is dense, but it is still natural stone. We seal every Sea Pearl install and recommend resealing every one to two years. Wipe up oil, wine and citrus reasonably promptly and use a cleaner instead of a bleach or vinegar spray.
Sea Pearl usually lands in the mid to upper quartzite range, above most granite and quartz. Final pricing depends on square footage, edge profile, cutouts, backsplash and the specific bundle available when you select. We quote from your measurements at no charge.
Yes. Come to our Auburn showroom and shop, or call (253) 315-2129 and we will pull the current Sea Pearl bundles so you can see the exact veining and layout before fabrication.
No, though they are often compared. Sea Pearl leans cooler with grey-green movement, Perla Venata is warmer and more golden, and Taj Mahal is creamier with very soft veining. We can lay samples side by side in the showroom.
