Lumix belongs to the light quartzites that work less through strong veining than through inner depth. The stone shows white, ivory and delicate grey tones in a crystalline structure. This makes it appear brighter and airier than many beige quartzites, while at the same time being more substantial than white marble. It is precisely this balance that makes it interesting in kitchens and prestigious interiors.
The stone originates from Brazil. Petrographically it is described as vein quartz, or a quartzitic hard rock, and is listed in the trade as a quartzite. For planners that is relevant, because Lumix thereby sets itself clearly apart from calcareous marble: it is considerably less sensitive to acid and more robust in use, while remaining visually elegant.
The technical values support this impression: around 2,648 kg/m³ bulk density, only approx. 0.076 % water absorption, roughly 74 MPa compressive strength and about 13.6 MPa flexural strength. The decisive point is less the maximum compressive strength than the very low water absorption and the density typical of quartzite. For kitchens, washbasin tops and high-quality interior fit-outs that is a strong package.
The surface finishes available from stock are listed in the »Finishes« block further down. At ROSSITTIS, Lumix is available as a raw slab, worktop, splashback, tile, window sill and wall cladding. As an alternative to Taj Mahal or light marble, Lumix appears cooler, whiter and more technical.
The honest assessment: Lumix is not a warm, golden kitchen quartzite, but a light, rather cool quartzite with a great deal of light. Anyone looking for creamy warmth should look rather in the direction of Taj Mahal or Roma Imperiale. Anyone who wants crystalline brightness is in the right place here.

Guide values for the stone type, taken from manufacturer and test reports. Natural stone is a natural product — individual batches and slabs can differ. For critical applications, request slab-specific test data.
Lumix is available in a range of finishes. The finish affects appearance, feel and the care it needs.
Polishing is the most classic finish for quartzite — a glossy surface with the highest possible colour intensity and a pronounced sense of depth. Depending on the mineral composition, the effect can be satin-gloss in places. As a silicate rock it is fully acid-resistant and scratch-hard — ideal for kitchen worktops and feature surfaces.
Lumix should be professionally impregnated in kitchens and bathrooms, even though the stone is very dense at around 0.076 % water absorption. For cleaning and care, pH-neutral natural stone cleaners, water and a soft cloth are recommended. Coffee, oil and limescale should be removed regularly so that the light surface stays clear. Avoid strong abrasive agents and unnecessary impact loading on edges and cut-outs.
Yes. With only around 0.076 % water absorption, Lumix is very well suited to kitchen worktops.

Taj Mahal appears warmer and more golden, Lumix brighter, cooler and more crystalline.
The price depends on the batch, thickness, surface finish and fabrication — with natural stone there is no serious flat rate per square metre. Business customers see prices once their B2B account is activated; private customers receive a complete quote through a fabricator near them.
