Some stones are beautiful… and some are unforgettable. This Patagonia slab is the kind you don’t see twice—a rare blend of granite and quartzite with a backlit quartz “wormhole” effect that stopped us in our tracks the moment it arrived.
It instantly caught the attention of Michael Petersen, local tech founder and CEO of Raise a Hood, who was searching for something truly unique for his home bar. Michael spends his days building cutting-edge automotive AI, so it’s no surprise he gravitated toward a stone with this much movement, character, and story.
Installed in his bar, the slab transforms the space. In the daylight, it feels warm and organic; at night, the backlit quartz turns into a glowing natural sculpture shaped by heat, pressure, and millions of years.
We love seeing a piece this special find its perfect home.
If you’re looking for a stone that stands out—and tells a story—we’d love to help you discover it.
