QUARTZITE IS ...
a natural stone. It’s classified as a metamorphic rock which means it’s created when the heat and pressure from hundreds of years deep in the Earth metamorphosize sandstone. The presence of minerals and oxidation give quartzite its beautiful veining and delicate shades of white, grey, pink, red, blue, green, orange and yellow.
5 REASONS TO CHOOSE QUARTZITE
1. ABSOLUTE ELEGANCE.
Quartzite is often mistaken for marble because it’s exceptionally beautiful with intricate patterns and veining.
2. THE BEST OF NATURE.
With quartzite you can literally see its natural formation story in each layer, vein and swirl. While shades of white and grey are very popular, it does come in a range of nature’s best hues from smokey blues to blushing corals, pale golds to verdant greens.
3. SERIOUSLY STRONG.
Quartzite performs perfectly under the pressure of high use. In other words, it’s a kitchen all-star that’s superbly resistant to scratching, chipping and heat.
4. YOU WANT IT ALL.
If you want the look of marble but need a hard, durable stone for a high-use area such as your kitchen, quartzite beautifully rises to the challenge. It’s fine texture and coloring are often taken for marble especially with colors such as Taj Mahal, Fusion, Macaubus Fantasy and Madre Perla.
5. BRILLIANT INVESTMENT.
Quartzite is as strong as it is beautiful which means your quartzite countertops will last for years and add value to your home.
MOHS KNOWS
The Mohs Hardness Scale is used to measure the hardness of minerals, ranking from 1 (softest) to 10 (hardest). Quartzite averages a 7 on the Mohs scale making it one of the hardest, most durable choices in stone countertops.
STANDING TALL
Mountains and hillsides are typical places to find quartzite. Hilltops made of quartzite usually do not change because quartzite is so strong and resistant to weathering.
