How to Select your Super White Dolomite Stone for Benchtops

Recently becoming the most sought after – Super White Dolomite makes a bold statement, unlike the regular white and greys. So, lets’ start with the most common dilemma people have –

Is Super White a marble, granite or a quartzite? Different supplier name it differently this is because the natural stone industry relies more on practical category bifurcation rather than on geological precision. Hence, when people see it, they like it but resist themselves from buying it because of the unaware facts. Hence, we at Avant Stone strive to educate our clients with precise information rather than generic answers!

So, let’s start by identifying what Super White Dolomite is not! It is definitely not a Granite! Here’s why!

The natural stone is divided into three major categories: igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary. Granite is an igneous rock which is formed by the cooling of magma while marble and quartzite are formed by long term pressure and heat under the earth's crust. Hence, the two kinds are distinguished clearly. A mineral composition which is closest to one like marble but has higher density and strength like a quartzite is called dolomite. Hence, due to its characteristics, Super White dolomite has been considered as an ideal material to be used for your kitchen benchtop.

Super White dolomite consists of grey tones of the staggered veining on a creamy to a rich white background which resonates beauty in any design. Dolomite stone benchtops have a much lower risk for etching, staining, scratching, or chipping than the traditional natural stone if sealed properly. Super White dolomite in Sydney is available in various finishes and patterns. At Avant stone, Super White dolomite comes in two finishes, honed and polished slabs with more than six patterns available at this moment. Super White Dolomite cost varies from $400 to $880 depending on its colour and pattern. Denser and busier the slab is, less is the price while the clearer and whiter the slab, more expensive it gets. However, it is not necessary that the most expensive is always the best for you. Selection of your dolomite stone benchtop will highly depend on your design and space to be equipped in.
