Wilsonart Vesuvius Quartz

Black speckled quartz

Vesuvius is a fine-grained black with occasional white or glassy specks scattered through it. It reads as nearly solid black from a distance, with a little sparkle up close. It suits modern kitchens, bar tops and vanities with white, gray or wood cabinets, and it gives strong contrast to light floors and backsplashes. The fine specks help hide dust better than a pure solid black. Polished finish.

What Pairs With Vesuvius

  • Cabinets - White flat-panel cabinets make the sharpest contrast. Gray or light wood softens it, and black cabinets give a sleek monochrome block.
  • Hardware and fixtures - Brushed brass or gold stands out against the black. Stainless ties in with appliances for a cooler, restaurant-style look.
  • Backsplash - A white tile or light marble-look porcelain reflects light back. Glossy white rectangles laid in a stack bond suit the modern style.
  • Floors or walls - Light floors are important: pale oak, light porcelain or white terrazzo-look tile keep the black from dominating.

Where Wilsonart Vesuvius Works Best

Vesuvius is a near-solid black for modern kitchens, bar tops and vanities that need strong contrast. The fine-grained surface with occasional white or glassy specks reads black from a distance and gives a little sparkle up close. Those specks help hide dust better than a pure black. Like any dark polished counter, it still shows water spots and fingerprints under direct light.

Vesuvius Compared With Similar Quartz

Grey Lake is Wilsonart's dark gray solid, a step lighter and without specks. Vesuvius goes to black and adds fine white and glassy flecks, which help with dust. Nova Serrana is another dark option but with visible veining and a matte soapstone character.

Wilsonart Vesuvius FAQs

Almost. It is a fine-grained black with occasional white or glassy specks, so it reads as solid black from a distance and shows a little sparkle up close. If you want absolutely no texture, a pure solid is the alternative, but the specks are what help Vesuvius hide dust.

It can be, and Vesuvius suits a modern vanity against white tile or light walls. Expect water spots and toothpaste marks to show more than on a white top, so a quick wipe after use helps. The fine specks make everyday dust less obvious than on a pure black surface.
