Glamour! Class! Sophistication!  How about some new quartzite countertops?  Quartzite is a natural stone that is often mistaken for marble, but it is a completely different material.  While marble is formed from limestone, quartzite is a metamorphic rock that is formed when sandstone is subjected to high heat and pressure.

One of the main benefits of quartzite is its durability. It is a hard, dense material that is resistant to scratches and heat.  Some varieties of this natural stone can be more porous than others, so regular cleaning and sealing is recommended with use.

Quartzite is also a visually appealing option for countertops and other surfaces. It is available in a range of colors, from white and cream to shades of gray, blue, green, and even pink. It also has a unique, marble-like veining that adds character and interest to any space.

If you’re considering quartzite for your home, there are a few things to keep in mind. First, quartzite is a natural stone and the pattern can vary wildly from slab to slab.  This feature adds to the individuality and beauty of the material.  Your neighbors will never have the same quartzite as you!  It is also a good idea to seal the quartzite to protect it from stains and moisture.

Quartzite is a specialty countertop material that can be higher in price than some other options, but its character is unmatched compared to other materials.
