QUARTZITE

The best of both worlds, beauty, and power, quartzite have it all.

Quartzite is made of metamorphosed sandstone, known for its durability and hardness. Is considered by many the best material that you can find for your countertop, almost indestructible, giving you peace of mind.

Quartzite Precautions:

There are a lot of mislabeled materials, marble, and granite being sold as quartzite, or, even worse, material labeled as soft-quartzite. Soft Quartzite does not exist, its either a true quartzite or not! If it can be scratched by a glass tile, knife or etches it's not a Quartzite. Test your material, and make sure you are getting a real quartzite stone as opposed to marble or granite.
