Quartzite
A 100% natural stone that combines marble's bright, airy look with granite's hardness and durability.
Quartzite is one of the fastest-growing choices for kitchen countertops — and it’s easy to see why. It combines the beauty of marble with the durability of granite, all in a 100% natural stone. Formed from sandstone under extreme heat and pressure over millions of years, quartzite offers the soft, luminous veining homeowners love about marble, but with significantly better scratch and etch resistance. It’s a favorite in coastal and light-filled homes where the bright, airy look of marble is desired without the same level of maintenance. At Stonhaus we carry striking quartzite varieties such as Super White, Taj Mahal, Sea Pearl and Calacatta Macaúbas, each hand-selected for color, movement and quality.
