Quartzite Slabs and Countertops
Quartzite is a very hard metamorphic rock that originated as sandstone. Through a process of high heating and pressurization sandstone is transformed into Quartzite, an extremely strong and durable natural stone. When heated, individual quartz pieces recrystallize giving it a beautiful and decorative sparkling pattern. Quartzite is ideal for any countertop surface due to its strength and long-lasting composition. When deciding on what to use for your next countertop surface, consider quartzite countertops for its strength, beauty, and overall durability.

Quartzite
Quartzite stones are similar to slates, but with higher content of quartz in them, which gives them, a bright texture. Like slates, quartzites are used for various applications depending on their hardness.
