Taj Mahal Quartzite Bundle Reference — Four Recorded Lots Compared

Taj Mahal Quartzite is a widely requested warm-neutral stone: a creamy beige ground with soft golden-brown movement that can remain quiet in a room. This article compares four recorded StoneWhite lots from different quarry batches so buyers can study finish, slab proportion, movement and application. Quantities and statuses below are last-recorded snapshots, not a statement of current availability. Status note checked 24 September 2026: SWKLDS2116 and SW636 are listed as Sold; SWKLZ32A and SW60 are listed as In Stock but still require confirmation of the exact slabs before specification or purchase.

"Last-recorded comparison: four lots, 154 slabs and 943.07 m². These totals describe the archived bundle records only; they are not a statement of current stock."

SWKLDS2116 — Honed reference, 29 slabs / 165.906 m² recorded

SWKLDS2116 — honed surface, warm beige ground with whisper-soft cloud-like veining.
SWKLDS2116 — honed surface, warm beige ground with whisper-soft cloud-like veining.

Reference only: SWKLDS2116 is now listed as Sold and cannot be reserved. Its last-recorded bundle showed 29 slabs, 165.906 m², at 3280 × 1800 × 20 mm, with bookmatch capability. The honed finish takes the gloss out of the surface and pushes the warmth of the beige ground forward; cloud-like veining stays softer than on the polished references.

Best for: bathrooms, vanities, shower walls, hospitality guestroom rollouts, and any project where the stone should recede rather than lead. Pairs well with warm-white lighting and natural wood. Strong choice when matte surfaces are specified throughout the interior.

SWKLZ32A — Honed reference, 36 slabs / 209.16 m² recorded

SWKLZ32A — honed, velvety matte finish over a fine-grained crystalline ground.
SWKLZ32A — honed, velvety matte finish over a fine-grained crystalline ground.

This honed reference reads slightly cooler and more crystalline than SWKLDS2116, with a fine-grained texture that catches light unevenly and gives the surface subtle depth. Its last-recorded listing showed 36 slabs, 209.16 m², at 2050 × 1910 × 20 mm, with bookmatch capability. At the 24 September 2026 status check it was labelled In Stock, but exact slab availability and remaining quantity still require confirmation. The smaller slab footprint suits vanity tops, fireplace surrounds and stacked wall panels rather than single-piece waterfall islands.

Best suited to hotel guestroom vanities, primary bathrooms, fireplace surrounds and feature-wall stacks. The recorded 209.16 m² quantity helps illustrate the scale once represented by this lot, but current remaining slabs must be checked before planning a multi-room scope.

SW636 — Polished reference, 50 slabs / 302 m² recorded

SW636 — polished surface, warm beige canvas with cloud-like veining and gentle translucence.

Reference only: SW636 is now listed as Sold and cannot be reserved. Its last-recorded bundle showed 50 polished slabs, 302 m², at 3090 × 1960 × 20 mm, with bookmatch capability. The polish brings out the crystalline structure and gentle translucence under direct light, while the veining reads more clearly than on the honed references.

Best for: kitchen countertops and islands, waterfall ends, reception desks, bar tops, polished hospitality lobby finishes. The right bundle when a project needs the classic glossy Taj Mahal look and enough slabs to cover an entire kitchen-and-bath scope from one batch.

SW60 — Polished reference, 39 slabs / 266 m² recorded

SW60 — polished surface, warm beige with creamy veining; reads as the most luxurious of the four.
SW60 — polished surface, warm beige with creamy veining; reads as the most luxurious of the four.

This polished reference has a more expressive, luminous reading than the honed lots. Its last-recorded listing showed 39 slabs, 266 m², at 3470 × 1350 × 20 mm, with bookmatch capability. At the 24 September 2026 status check it was labelled In Stock, but exact slab availability and remaining quantity still require confirmation. The narrower slab width is well suited to long bar tops, reception desks, fireplace cladding strips and continuous countertop runs.

SW60 — bundle view, polished slabs ready for sequenced sign-off.

Best for: hospitality bar fronts, long polished countertops, fireplace surrounds, narrow continuous wall panels, and high-end residential islands where the slab proportion suits the cabinetry. Pairs especially well with brushed brass and warm-toned hardware.

How to Choose Between Them

Honed vs polished is the first decision. SWKLDS2116 and SWKLZ32A are honed — quieter surface, softer reflection, better for matte interior schemes and bathrooms where polish would compete with mirrors and chrome. SW636 and SW60 are polished — gloss surface, more visible veining, classic Taj Mahal look, well suited to kitchens and hospitality areas where the stone should read as a feature.

Slab format is the second decision. SW636 (3090 × 1960) and SWKLDS2116 (3280 × 1800) are the closest to standard large-format quartzite proportions and suit kitchen islands, waterfall ends and bookmatched feature walls. SW60 (3470 × 1350) is narrower — ideal for long bar tops, reception desks and continuous wall strips. SWKLZ32A (2050 × 1910) is squarer and smaller, suited to vanities, fireplace surrounds and stacked panels.

Recorded bundle size is the third comparison. All four listings recorded bookmatch capability, but those quantities are historical references rather than stock promises. SW636 recorded 50 slabs; SWKLZ32A recorded 209.16 m²; SW60 recorded 266 m²; and SWKLDS2116 recorded 165.906 m². Use these figures to understand former lot scale, then confirm the exact current slabs before designing around quantity or sequencing.

"Same stone name, four very different bundles. Match the finish to the room, the slab proportion to the cabinetry, and the bundle size to the scope."

How to Proceed

Use the SWKLDS2116 and SW636 pages as visual references only; both lots are listed as Sold and cannot be reserved. The SWKLZ32A and SW60 pages were labelled In Stock at the 24 September 2026 check, but the exact slab numbers, remaining quantity and sequence must still be confirmed. Browse the current Taj Mahal search or send a sourcing brief with finish, largest finished-piece size, quantity, destination and intended application. If requested slabs are available, StoneWhite confirms any hold in writing before the three-business-day hold period begins.
