What is Aurea Stone?
As a brand, Aurea Stone focuses on “perfection as an attitude,” and their products encapsulate that well. By crafting high-performance engineered surfaces that are sustainable and aesthetically-pleasing, Aurea Stone proves that humans can even rethink stone. The company uses flagship technologies include PHI 4R+, a proprietary method that makes slabs with pattern and color running through the entire material, not just the surface; and NEOS, a nano-scale protectant that makes Aurea Stone products resistant to stains and chemicals.
Aurea Stone focuses on recycled materials like glass, has an eco-conscious manufacturing process, and has made the fabrication of engineered stone even safer by reducing or eliminating crystalline silica.
In short, Aurea Stone is not only a technological leader in engineering surfaces, they are conscious about the process and have made it cleaner and safer from start to finish.
Why Choose Aurea Stone?
Aurea Stone has worked to differentiate itself from the competition. The result are stand-out engineered stone products that rival natural stone, quartz, and porcelain. Aurea Stone has three distinct collections: PHI, Symphony, and Zero.
PHI is a recycled glass surface that is created without crystalline silica. The defining feature of PHI is the color and pattern infused throughout the slab. Due to the veining and depth of color, PHI closely resembles marble but doesn’t need resealing and is highly resistant to stains.
The Symphony collection is also made silica-free, combines recycled glass and nano-ink, and comes with an anti-stain warranty. It’s another surface that rivals marble and quartz and has long lasting colors.
Lastly, Zero, the first man-made mineral surface with zero crystalline silica. It’s engineered quartz redefined. Zero has a low carbon footprint compared to other engineered stone surfaces.

Comparing Aurea Stone to Other Surface Types
| Feature | Aurea Stone | Granite | Marble | Porcelain Slabs |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Porosity & Stains | Nonporous (especially in their glass-based lines) and highly stain-resistant with NEOS protectant. | Low-to-moderate porosity; sealing recommended to minimize stain risk. | High porosity; vulnerable to oils and acids, often requires regular sealing. | Nonporous; very resistant to staining, moisture, and many chemicals. |
| Maintenance | Low maintenance; mild soap and soft cloth generally suffice. NEOS adds extra stain protection. | Moderate care; requires periodic sealing plus stone-safe cleaning products. | High maintenance; delicate cleaners, sealing, and care needed to prevent etching or staining. | Very low maintenance; minimal cleaning required and no sealing needed. |
| Appearance Variety | Extremely varied designs: recycled-glass depth, high-definition printed veining, and translucent effects. | Natural variation in color, grain, and pattern; each slab is unique. | Classic veining, rich tones, and natural elegance—but high variation between slabs. | Broad design flexibility: stone looks, concrete, wood, and more, with precise printing. |
| Durability (Scratch, Chip, Heat) | Very durable; NEOS improves scratch and chemical resistance. Use trivets for very hot items. | Highly durable and heat-tolerant; well suited for heavy kitchen use. | More fragile; can scratch, chip, or etch; requires protection from hot pans. | Excellent durability; strong scratch resistance and heat stability make it ideal for high-use areas. |
| Sustainability & Certifications | High recycled content in many lines, water-efficient production, and no crystalline silica in some collections. | Natural quarry material; environmental impact depends on sourcing practices and supplier transparency. | Quarried material with a potentially high environmental footprint, though certifications vary. | Often manufactured with recycled materials; long-lasting, which reduces long-term replacement waste. |
| Price Value / Versatility | Premium, technologically advanced surfaces with strong performance and green credentials. | Wide pricing spectrum depending on rarity; very versatile for many design styles. | Often positioned as a luxury material; higher cost and care requirements. | High-end cost, but offers unique durability and design flexibility—not just for countertops but also vertical applications. |

3. Why choose Aurea Stone over traditional engineered stone?
Because Aurea Stone’s formulations eliminate or significantly reduce crystalline silica, they offer health and safety advantages during fabrication. Their recycled content, advanced protectant (NEOS), and water-efficient manufacturing also make them more sustainable than many traditional quartz or resin-based surfaces.
4. How durable are Aurea Stone surfaces?
Aurea surfaces are designed for high durability. They resist scratches, chips, and chemical exposure well, especially when treated with NEOS, their proprietary nano-scale sealant. As with any engineered material, using trivets under very hot cookware is recommended.
5. How do you maintain Aurea Stone?
