Nouvel Mineral Surface is the name behind Bedrosians’ newest engineered stone line, and it’s what this post covers. Part 1 of this series looked at DalTile’s five best-selling quartz colors in Tucson, ranked by real sales numbers from their local rep. Bedrosians works differently, so this post works differently too.
First, some background: Bedrosians used to carry a quartz line called Revera. Over the past year, they’ve been transitioning away from it into a newer engineered line called Nouvel Mineral Surface. Nouvel isn’t technically marketed as “quartz” — Bedrosians calls it a mineral surface — but it does the same job: an engineered stone that mimics the look of marble and granite without the maintenance either one requires.
When we asked their Tucson sales team for a ranked top 5 the way we did at DalTile, they weren’t able to give us one. What we got instead were four Nouvel colors their team is currently seeing move in Tucson: Lincoln Gold, Calacatta Laurel, Calacatta Monet, and Imperial Bettogli. So consider this list four colors worth knowing about, not a ranked top 5.
One more note before we get into it: Bedrosians doesn’t sell retail, so as with Part 1, we’re not listing prices here. Contact GMT Stoneworks directly for current pricing on any of these.
Nouvel Mineral Surface Colors in Tucson: What’s Available at Bedrosians
Lincoln Gold
A white background with a bold, warm gold-tan vein running diagonally across the slab. In an installed vanity shot we found, the gold tone in the veining pairs well with brass fixtures and warm cabinet colors — it reads more gold than grey, which sets it apart from a lot of the marble-look colors on the market. On the slab itself, the vein has some texture to it rather than sitting flat, which is part of what gives it that warmer, richer look in person compared to a cooler grey-veined slab.
Calacatta Laurel
White background again, but the veining here is finer and greyer than Lincoln Gold — more restrained, less of a single bold statement vein and more a network of thinner branching lines. A good option if you want the Calacatta look without as much visual weight. It would work well as a quieter counterpoint to a busier backsplash or cabinet color, since the slab itself won’t compete for attention.
Calacatta Monet
Another white-background, warm-veined option, with tan-brown branching veins similar in tone and boldness to a couple of the Calacatta colors we covered in the DalTile post. If you liked Calacatta Villa or Carrara Roma from Part 1, this one’s worth a look.
Imperial Bettogli
The boldest of the four. Both the slab photo and an installed vanity shot show heavy, dramatic gold and dark veining sweeping across a white background — this is a statement-piece slab, the kind you’d put on an island specifically because you want people to notice it.
Why We’re Including Bedrosians in This Series
Bedrosians’ approach to quartz colors is less structured than DalTile’s — no ranked sales list, and getting sample info took more digging on our end. But the Nouvel Mineral Surface is a real, current product line worth knowing about if you’re shopping for a marble-look quartz in Tucson, and the four colors above cover a solid range, from the subtle grey veining of Calacatta Laurel to the bold gold movement of Imperial Bettogli.
If you’re comparing options across DalTile and Bedrosians so far, the pattern holds: warm gold-brown veining shows up a lot more than cool grey right now, and white backgrounds dominate no matter which yard you’re looking at. That’s useful to know if you’re trying to match a countertop to an existing kitchen, since it means the warm-toned options aren’t limited to just one supplier — you’ve got choices at both yards if that’s the direction you want to go.
It’s also worth remembering that Nouvel, like the DalTile ONE Quartz colors in Part 1, is an engineered surface rather than natural stone — which means none of these colors will etch or stain the way a natural marble countertop would in a working kitchen. That durability is a big part of why quartz and mineral surface products have become the go-to marble-look option for Tucson kitchens instead of the real thing.
