{"product_id":"monte-bello-antiqued-quartzite-slab-3cm","title":"Monte Bello Antiqued Quartzite Slab Random","description":"\u003cp\u003eMonte Bello is a brown quartzite slab with an antiqued finish and active diagonal movement. Quartzite is metamorphic sandstone. This piece belongs to the Designers Choice collection and combines pale mineral streaks, earthy undertones, and a weathered surface expression suited to plans built around natural variation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDiagonal Grain, Antiqued Depth\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA taupe and warm gray ground is crossed by dense cream, beige, and off-white streaks running mostly from lower left to upper right. Movement fills the entire face. Clouded brown patches, thin darker traces, and a few small rusty spots interrupt the grain, while broader folded markings appear near one corner.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStrong directional grain\u003c\/strong\u003e Closely packed diagonal streaks create motion that should be considered before the slab is cut.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAged surface character\u003c\/strong\u003e The antiqued finish supports the stone's layered, weathered appearance rather than presenting a slick face.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePlan Around the Stone’s Direction\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor project planning, Monte Bello should be treated as a directional material whose strongest lines will influence every major cut. Start with the whole slab. A licensed fabricator can use templates to position the sweeping grain, preserve preferred markings, and determine how separate pieces relate before completing the cutting and installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTemplate before cutting\u003c\/strong\u003e The fabricator should compare templates with the selected slab photo to place the strongest bands deliberately.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRandom dimensions\u003c\/strong\u003e Natural slabs come in random sizes, so final measurements must be confirmed for the specific piece selected.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy we chose it\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIndividual markings matter\u003c\/strong\u003e Each quartzite slab carries its own streaks, clouds, and small spots, making photo review an important buying step.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOne block coordinates\u003c\/strong\u003e Slabs within a natural-stone batch come from one block and usually provide the closest available match.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eQuote follows selection\u003c\/strong\u003e The material is sold by the slab, with pricing supplied by quote for the chosen piece.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Stonetiledepot","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68126066377072,"sku":"STSL-JADCH","price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1019\/4157\/6048\/files\/monte-bello-antiqued-quartzite-slab-random.jpg?v=1793565997","url":"https:\/\/stonetiledepot.com\/products\/monte-bello-antiqued-quartzite-slab-3cm","provider":"Stone Tile Depot","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
