Quartzite is an extremely strong and durable natural stone that is transformed from the process of pressurization of sandstone. When heated, individual quartz pieces recrystallize, giving it a beautiful and decorative sparkling pattern. Quartzite has been the answer to many homeowners who wants the marble look, but prefer the durability and strength of granite. With its high resistance to abrasions, Quartzite is ideal for any countertop surface.
