Materials
Quartzite countertops
A natural stone often confused with engineered quartz. It is not the same thing. Quartzite is quarried, harder than granite, and carries the soft veining people usually want from marble.

What it is good at
Where quartzite wins.
- Harder than granite — excellent scratch resistance
- Marble-like veining in a far more durable stone
- Handles heat well
- Each slab is unique
What to know first
Where it asks something of you.
- Costs more than most granite or quartz
- Needs sealing
- Some slabs sold as quartzite are actually softer dolomite — ask
Fit
Best suited to
Homeowners who want the marble look but cannot live with marble etching.
Everyday care
Seal on schedule. Wipe spills promptly, especially acidic ones.
What quartzite looks like
Reference photos, not our completed work.
These show the material, not a job we did — we are upfront about that. Our own quartzite installations will replace these as they are finished and photographed.
Straight answer on photos: the photo above is a reference image (Taj Mahal quartzite), not our completed work. We do not have finished quartzite installations photographed yet, and the white veined kitchens elsewhere on this site are quartz, not quartzite. Call and we will show you quartzite slabs in person.
