Description

Calacatta Panda is a quartz surface. Encrusted with ingrained white and blue-gray veining, the Calacatta Panda is meant to mesmerize those that take one look upon its appearance. Its aesthetic is almost mercurial in nature and the veins look as though they trickle in place.

The Calacatta Panda is associated with the fusion of vague lines, represented through the veining. Contrasting amongst these colors, the quartz reflects the clean lines provided by more modern depictions for design. An aesthetically pleasing surface that works with a multitude of possible designs, the Calacatta Panda will not only aim to entice but it will also help with magnifying the overall impression of your decor. Certain spots in the veining are exaggerated, while varying locations will show understated hues and pigments. This design of the outlines are the features that make the quartz that much more unique. Rare in both quality and beguilement, the Calacatta Panda has a dichotomy of both dramatic and faint allure that gives the stone a sense of distinction, the palettes and design of the stone represents an allegory for a tale of two cities.
