Paramount is a quartzite from Brazil. Its multi-toned, variegated details give the material a dramatic, organic appeal. Stark, thick white veining cascade across a muted taupe background. It is possible for some slabs to have oxidized veining or tones of burgundy randomly in the slab. With its dramatic white veins, this unique quartzite is perfect for projects requiring a bookmatched look. During the polishing process, an epoxy resin is applied to the surface of the stone to fill in any natural pits, cracks or fissures that may exist.
