unveiling the Distinctions: Quartz vs. Quartzite
Understanding the difference between quartz and quartzite, often mistaken for one another due to their similar names, are distinct natural stones with varying characteristics and applications.
Composition:
Quartz is an engineered stone made from a blend of natural quartz crystals, resins, and pigments. This process results in a non-porous, durable material ideal for countertops and various surfaces.
On the other hand, quartzite is a metamorphic rock that forms from the metamorphism of sandstone. It is entirely natural and composed primarily of quartz grains fused together by intense heat and pressure within the Earth’s crust.
