Fantasy Macaubas Quartzite Countertop
Fantasy Macaubas quartzite arrives from Brazil with a soft gray-white base, flowing white and gray veins, and occasional traces of sky blue. Every slab is genuinely unique — no two look alike. Harder than granite and fully UV-resistant, this natural stone performs equally well indoors and in outdoor kitchen settings. Periodic sealing is required at installation and every year or two.

Fantasy Macaubas countertop pricing varies more than engineered quartz because natural slab quality, vein pattern intensity, and sourcing all affect cost. Outdoor-grade slabs and bookmatched installations run higher. Contact Granite Selection for current Chicago-area pricing on Fantasy Macaubas quartzite countertops.
-
Fantasy Macaubas is a natural metamorphic rock — not an engineered surface. That distinction matters in several practical ways:
- Pattern: Each slab is geologically unique; no pattern repeats across your kitchen.
- Hardness: Quartzite tests harder than most granite and significantly harder than engineered quartz.
- UV resistance: Natural quartzite won’t fade outdoors; engineered quartz surfaces generally will.
- Sealing: Required periodically; natural stone is porous and must be protected.
- Heat: Handles heat better than quartz; trivets still recommended.
-
Fantasy Macaubas is a porous natural stone, so proper sealing is non-negotiable. Here’s the full care picture:
Task What to Use Frequency Sealing Stone-specific penetrating sealer At installation, then every 1 to 2 years Daily Cleaning pH-neutral cleaner or warm water + mild soap Daily Stain Treatment Poultice for oil-based stains; hydrogen peroxide for organic stains As needed What to Avoid Acidic cleaners (vinegar, lemon juice), bleach, abrasive scrubbers Always
