Quartzite

Quartzite is a metamorphic rock which is almost entirely composed of quartz and created through intense pressure and deep burial during the formation of mountains at convergent plate boundaries. It is twice as strong as granite, stain and scratch proof, resistant to acids, scratches, heat and UV rays.

The natural beauty of Quartzite adds an aesthetic appeal to any space that cannot be replicated by other materials. Available in grey, white, beige, pink, yellow, blue, purple, orange and brown with irregular and inconsistent veining.

Quartzite contains 99% quartz, as well as traces of iron oxide, zircon, rutile and magnetite. It features low porosity and water absorption rate and does not etch when exposed to citric liquids. Available in polished (glossy, reflective) and honed (smooth, satin appearance, scratch-resistant) finishes.
