Ijen Blue comes from the quarries of Brazil and makes a showstopping wall, fireplace, kitchen island or counter and backsplash combination. Best used where it can star as a dominant feature in the room, this quartzite is a good choice for modern, minimalist designs — but book-matching slabs for waterfall islands or shower walls is a powerful way to add drama.
