big, bold and beautiful

IRG’s Patagonia Quartzite is a true statement-making choice in home design. This fiery Brazilian natural stone adds not just an element of elegance but also drama, uniqueness and unsurpassed colorations. Solid beige clasts are interspersed with transparent patches of crystallized stone woven together with strands of gold. Those amazing color combinations are why backlit designs make this phenomenal surface material even more jaw dropping.

Millions of years of Magnificance

Volcanic activity in Brazil led to the formation of the marvelous Patagonia Quartzite. Over the course of millions of years, as molten substances cooled and rose to the surface–many of them becoming crystallized during the process—various layers of striations were created. Today these finished slabs are particularly stunning when the stone is used in large format designs.

Danville-based designer Casey Howard utilized a full slab of IRG’s Patagonia on an expansive shower wall, shown below, with beautifully book-matched niches and a shower bench. The large clasts and striations within the slab create a stunning focal point in this primary bathroom.
