"Inverness Gold is a stunning quartz countertop design by Cambria."
. It features a cool, arctic white base with diagonally interspersed gold crackling veins.
The veins are tactile & can be felt.
. These veins create a striking contrast and give the surface a beautifully organic, textured appearance.
. It offers the look of marble with the durability of quartz.
************************
The slab wasn't yet on the showroom floor; so, this photo was taken in the "warehouse" portion of the local Cambria showroom. The above slab photo still has plastic covering it. This is the polished version of the Inverness design; so, you can see how much lighting reflects off the slab. Feeling this is a negative, I have decided to instead go with a custom order of unpolished, which looks more like natural marble. Without the glossy finish, our countertop won't be notably affected by light glare on a shiny surface. I originally thought I preferred polished, but seeing the matt and polished finishes side-by-side, the matt looks much richer and will look better in our kitchen that gets a lot of natural light.
No, we haven't ordered it yet.
But I have now narrowed my choices down to this. The tiny sample (smallest one on the far right of this photo https://pbase.com/image/174960449) goes very well with our cherry cabinets and the new hickory floor. Seeing a full slab (alongside of Brittania Gold Cool https://pbase.com/britestar/image/174945274 ) convinced me to with to go with the less busy pattern; rather than with the one I originally thought I liked best in a small sample.
We'll probably need 7 slabs to do our kitchen. Before we can order our slabs, we need to first decide on who to use as the installer. But with deciding on "the" countertop material, we have significantly moved forward.
