Our kitchen suppliers recommended talostone to us for better price and in their opinion quality than caesarstone. We are getting 'French vanilla' but a quick look showed 'Marquina' to be similar to what you were after. We won't receive it for another 3 weeks so I can't give a personal opinion yet :(

I have scratched my bench top with my pants' metallic button just like that. Before realising what it was, I was wondering if my son had been naughty. Bar keeper friends stone cleaner does wonder to those marks.

Getting a quote on the Grande Statuario. I think it’s going to be significantly dearer than our first quote ☹️ The crispness of the White is perfect with great veining. Second quote being done with main island in the Statuario and with Smartstone along benches under window and into pantry, in case the first is too dear. Took our Lexicon 1/4 and overhead samples with us. Really happy with the choices. I just hope the first quote isn’t too dear as I’d prefer all white but I’d be happy with the combination of both tops.

Why don’t you go to the caesarstone web site and purchase the cleanser which is specifically for quartz surfaces. I use the cleanser every couple of months. https://www.caesarstone.com.au/cleaning-maintenance
