Looking to make a statement in your kitchen, bathroom or other space? Quartzite offers a range of very different, unusual and often bold patterns and colors, so it\u2019s a great choice for a homeowner who wants their stone installation to stand out. Let\u2019s explore what this unique stone has to offer, and take a look at several of our favorite looks using quartzite.<\/p>\n

What is Quartzite?<\/h2>\n

Not to be confused with quartz, which is a type of man-made slab, quartzite is mined from the earth in blocks, just like other natural stones such as marble and granite. Quartzite is formed in the earth by immense pressure and heat, creating a very hard stone that\u2019s even more durable than granite. The process also creates a stunning range of colors, patterns and veins, making quartzite a particularly unique and one-of-a-kind stone for your home.<\/p>\n

#1: Quartzite that Looks Like Marble<\/h2>\n

Many varieties of quartzite are white or cream in color with gray or tan veins similar to marble.\u00a0Taj Mahal<\/a>, a Brazilian quartzite, features gold-toned veining reminiscent of Italian Calacatta marble. The perfect complement to a white or earth toned kitchen or bathroom, this warm and luxurious quartzite offers a chic, timeless and one-of-a-kind look. And since quartzite is a harder and more durable stone than marble, it\u2019s a practical choice with lower maintenance needs.<\/p>\n
