Magic Brown: the complete guide
Overview
Magic Brown is a quartzite in warm brown tones, with a dynamic pattern full of contrast. It is chosen for characterful surfaces that also need to withstand intensive use, such as kitchen worktops.
History and origin
It is an imported material, found on the international market among high-end coloured quartzites. Its dark tones and the movement of its veins make it suitable for projects with a warm, textured feel. As with all quartzites, quality can vary between blocks and should be assessed on the actual slabs. Marmi di Carrara supplies it on request.
Appearance
On a brown and smoky grey background, wavy bands in cream, sand and sometimes gold develop, with crystalline inclusions. Every slab has its own movement and bookmatched installation can produce very dramatic effects. Polished, it enhances contrast and depth; brushed, it becomes warmer and more tactile.
Uses
Recommended for kitchen worktops, islands, bathrooms, walls and floors in residential or commercial settings. Outdoors, a non-polished finish should be chosen.
Care and maintenance
Clean with neutral products and treat periodically with a stain-proofing protector. On the dark tones it is advisable to dry off water to avoid limescale marks.
