A quartzite island with a waterfall edge. Quartzite gives marble-like veining with far more resistance to acid and wear, which is why it keeps appearing in working kitchens.

Limestone honed rather than polished, which keeps the surface matte and gives some grip underfoot. Limestone is porous, so sealing is part of the job, not an afterthought.

Two sequential slabs opened like a book so the veining mirrors across the join. It only works when the slabs come from the same block, which is why they have to be reserved together.
