What are LumaLuxe, Q Studio and Q+?

MSI groups several of its newer colors into collections. Here is what each name means.

LumaLuxe and Q Studio

LumaLuxe is MSI’s own formula for adding depth and dimension to the surface, and colors like Calacatta Miraggio and Lumataj use it. The Calacatta Miraggio colors belong to MSI’s Q Studio collection, and Calacatta Miraggio Lusso is made in the USA.

Q+ high definition

Q+ is MSI’s high definition collection, built for extra realism in marble and quartzite patterns. SoliTaj and IvoriTaj copy Taj Mahal quartzite, and Calacatta Anava, Calacatta Castana and Calacatta Lapiza copy Calacatta marble.

Which MSI finishes can you choose?

Most MSI colors come polished, which gives a smooth, reflective sheen. Several colors also come in a lower-sheen finish:

Honed: Calacatta Miraggio, Calacatta Miraggio Cielo, Calacatta Miraggio Cove, Calacatta Miraggio Duo, Calacatta Miraggio Gold and Miraggio Taj.
Brushed: Serataj, IvoriTaj and SoliTaj.
Concrete: Babylon Gray, Gray Lagoon, Midnight Majesty, Soapstone Metropolis and Soapstone Mist.
Matte: Fossil Gray.

These finishes cut the shine for a softer, lower-sheen look. Our guide to quartz countertop finishes compares them in detail.

Which MSI thickness should you choose?

Nearly every MSI color comes in 2 cm and 3 cm. A 3 cm top supports an island overhang with less bracing and gives you a full edge without lamination. A 2 cm top suits vanities, backsplashes and walls.

Select whites, including Arctic White, Carrara Marmi, Frost White and Iced White, also come in 1.5 cm for a thin, modern profile. Calacatta Anava, Calacatta Castana and Calacatta Lapiza come in 2 cm only. Our guide to quartz countertop thickness walks through the tradeoffs.

How big is an MSI slab, and will your island need a seam?

Most MSI slabs on this page run from about 122 by 60 inches up to 140 by 82 inches, and Marquina Midnight reaches 143 by 80. A 140 by 82 inch slab gives you a piece about 11 feet 8 inches long and 6 feet 10 inches deep, which covers many islands with no seam.

Calacatta Abezzo, Calacatta Classique, Calacatta Izaro, Calacatta Laza and Statuary Classique also come as book-matched slabs, where two slabs mirror each other across a seam. We confirm the usable area on the actual slab you choose, because we trim the outer edges during fabrication.

Which MSI colors are newest?

In September 2025, MSI introduced seven Q colors that are all on this page: SoliTaj, AuraTaj, Calacatta Belaros, Eroluna, Calacatta Rusta, Calacatta Aidana and Calacatta Miraggio Lusso.

In 2026, MSI has leaned into Taj Mahal quartzite looks, with AuraTaj, Travataj, MarfiTaj, Cashmere Taj, Lumataj, SoliTaj and IvoriTaj. If you like a warm, creamy kitchen, that group is worth a close look.

How much do MSI countertops cost in the Twin Cities?

Your total depends on the color you choose, square footage, slab size, thickness, finish, edge profile, sink and cooktop cutouts, seam count, and whether you add a backsplash. MSI’s range spans budget-friendly solid colors and premium marble looks, so two kitchens of the same size can land far apart. We price your actual layout instead of quoting a square-foot figure that changes once we see the kitchen. Our article on how granite and quartz countertops are priced explains what moves the number, and a free estimate gives you a real figure for your project.

What does the MSI warranty cover?

MSI Q quartz carries a limited lifetime residential warranty for the original purchaser in a private, owner-occupied single-family home. It covers manufacturing defects, and it does not transfer to a later owner.

You need to register within 30 days of installation, and the countertop must be fabricated and installed by an authorized Q fabricator and cared for under MSI’s guidelines. The warranty excludes outdoor and commercial installations, chips and scratches from impact, heat and thermal shock damage, chemical damage, and seam appearance.

Can you use MSI quartz outdoors in Minnesota?

No. The MSI Q warranty excludes outdoor installations, and Minnesota freeze and thaw cycles add more stress on top of that. For a deck kitchen, a porch bar or a lake cabin counter, we steer clients toward granite.

Our comparison of granite and quartz outdoors explains the reasoning, and our granite countertop guide shows what holds up in this climate.

How do we fabricate and install MSI quartz?

Our team laser measures your space with your old countertops still in place, so your kitchen stays usable while we fabricate. In our Burnsville shop, we cut your slab on a SABERjet XP CNC machine for clean edges and tight seams.

Veined colors like Calacatta Laza, Calacatta Leon and Marquina Midnight need careful layout. We map each cut against the slab you selected so the veining flows across seams and around corners. Our own installers set the tops, and we remove and dispose of your old countertops.

See our countertop buying process or read the step-by-step installation guide.

How do you care for MSI quartz countertops?

For everyday cleaning, MSI recommends a soft sponge or dishcloth with warm water. The surface does not need sealing, because sealers cannot soak into quartz.

Always set a trivet or hot pad under hot pans, slow cookers and electric skillets. Skip abrasive cleansers and scrubbing pads, and keep drain cleaners, paint strippers and other harsh chemicals off the surface.

Our guides on cleaning quartz countertops and whether quartz needs sealing go further.

Who makes MSI quartz?

MSI, short for M S International, Inc., is a surfaces company founded in 1975 and based in Orange, California. It runs about 50 showrooms and distribution centers across the U.S. and Canada, including a 195,000 square foot location in Maple Grove, which keeps a deep MSI selection close to Twin Cities homeowners.

Some MSI Q surfaces are manufactured in Latta, South Carolina. For trends, certifications and a deeper look at the brand, read our MSI Q quartz buyer’s guide.

MSI or another quartz brand?

We carry MSI alongside HanStone, Silestone, Viatera, Vicostone, Orion, Quantra, Daltile ONE, Aggranite and Wilsonart. MSI stands out on range. It covers nearly every look, from entry-level speckled whites to high definition Taj Mahal looks, and it offers five finishes and three thicknesses across its lineup.

If a specific marble or quartzite look is driving your decision, bring us a photo and we will tell you which brand carries the closest match.
