-Stardust-
Description & Features
Stardust breaks away from the usual linear vein: on its pure white background, fine copper-caramel strands intertwine like lace or filigree and form a continuous network of large, irregular polygons, with denser knots where the lines meet. The result is warm and decorative, with a strong presence but without heavy masses of colour. It is an engineered quartz from Belenco's Prestige series, produced in Manisa at a LOTTE group plant with Bretonstone technology from quartz grains and resin. According to the brand's technical data it absorbs just 0.04% water (class W4 per EN 14617-1), has a flexural strength of at least 40 MPa and is classified A2-s1,d0 for reaction to fire, while Belenco also holds NSF 51 certification for safe food preparation. It is available polished in two slab sizes – Extra 152 × 310 cm and Jumbo 165 × 330 cm – and in 15, 20 and 30 mm thicknesses. It is suited to islands and kitchen countertops, bathroom vanity tops, wall cladding and tables, where the pattern can become the focal point of the room. Daily care is done with a damp cloth and a mild neutral soap; strong chemicals and direct contact with hot cookware are best avoided.
Why choose Stardust
- Lace-like network of copper veins – a distinctive pattern
- Belenco Prestige – 15, 20 and 30 mm thicknesses
- Reaction to fire A2-s1,d0 (EN 13501-1)
- Water absorption 0.04% – no sealing

Export & project supply
SKARIS MARBLE supplies Stardust to stone importers, fabricators, architects and hotel projects outside Greece. From our facility in Thessaloniki we handle the whole order in-house:
- Slab selection and matching – we grade and match the slabs for colour and veining, so a large order stays uniform across the whole project.
- Cut-to-size and finishing – pieces cut, edged and finished to your drawings, numbered per room or elevation and ready to install.
- Mixed shipments – Greek marbles, granites, porous limestone (porolithos) and quartz surfaces can be combined in one order.
- Export packing – crated and labelled for sea or road freight, ex-works Thessaloniki; delivered terms quoted on request.
Send us your drawings or quantities and we will come back with a quotation and availability.
