Welcome to the first instalment of our Material Showcase, which we’re kicking off with a spotlight on the chic and elegant Dover White.
This stunning white quartzite has its origins in central Africa, so it brings a taste of exotic locales directly to your kitchen or bathroom. Often referred to as Oyster White or Caribbean Island, this exquisite stone is not a true quartzite but rather a dolomite type, akin to the renowned Bianco Eclipsia.
The Aesthetic Appeal
Dover White captures the imagination with its intriguing palette of greyish veins and swirls, intertwined with a subtle silver shimmer. This unique combination of minerals flows seamlessly throughout the stone, creating patterns of pure elegance and sophistication. The stone’s natural beauty is accentuated by its lustrous finish, which reflects light to illuminate any room.
Elegant and Versatile
What sets Dover White apart is its remarkable ability to convey an atmosphere of pure elegance in any space. Whether you use it for kitchen countertops or bathroom surfaces, this is a stone that elevates the aesthetic appeal of interiors to new heights. Its versatility makes it a perfect choice for a variety of design styles, from modern minimalist to classic traditional.
A Book-Matched Beauty
Dover White particularly stands out when book-matched – a technique we proudly specialise in at Granite House. Put simply, book-matching is where two adjacent stone slabs are mirrored to create a visually stunning symmetrical pattern. When used on Dover White, it highlights the stone’s natural veining and shimmer, creating breathtaking surfaces in luxury homes and high-end commercial projects.
The Dover Durability
As a premium dolomite quartzite, Dover White is both beautiful and incredibly durable. It offers greater resistance to scratching and etching than other materials, such as a traditional marble. This makes it ideal for use in kitchens, where it will see frequent use. Its sustainability and long-lasting beauty make it a favoured option for those looking to combine luxury with practicality.

Dover White is just one example of the quality materials in our archive, just waiting to be used to elevate any space.
