This luxury island project features Calacatta Macaubas Quartzite with a selective backlit design, highlighting the stone’s naturally translucent crystal areas.
Calacatta Macaubas Quartzite Natural Stone Characteristics
Calacatta Macaubas Quartzite is not fully translucent.Only the crystal-rich sections of the slab allow light to pass through, creating a layered and dynamic visual effect. This project fully utilizes those natural crystal zones to achieve a refined and controlled lighting result.
Selective Backlighting Design
Instead of illuminating the entire slab, the lighting design focuses on:
Identifying crystal-dense areas during slab selection
Strategically placing LED lighting behind the translucent crystal parts
Preserving the natural contrast between opaque stone and glowing crystal veins
This approach enhances the stone’s natural beauty while avoiding excessive or unnatural brightness.
Fabrication & LED Integration
Precise cutting and thickness control to optimize light transmission
Structural reinforcement tailored for backlit island applications
LED lighting materials and technical support provided by YUSHI STONE, ensuring accurate positioning and stable lighting performance
The result is a balanced, elegant illuminated stone island, where light and natural stone textures work together seamlessly.
Application & Design Value
This selective backlit quartzite island is ideal for:
Luxury kitchens and statement islands
High-end villas and private residences
Designer-led interior projects
Custom illuminated stone applications
