Natural Marble Look • Superior Hardness • Custom Stone Fabrication • Serving Arlington Heights & Surrounding Areas
Quartzite is a metamorphic rock formed when sandstone comes into contact with deeply buried magma on the Earth’s surface.
The stone is famous for its superior strength, density, and hardness. Because of its durability and similar veining and colors to marble, quartzite is highly used for kitchen countertops.
Although all the stone is very durable, harsh chemical cleaners should be avoided during cleaning.

Quartzite offers a stunning array of colors, ranging from subtle earth tones to vibrant blues and greens, largely depending on the mineral content during its formation. Its palette often includes shades of white, gray, pink, red, and blue. Quartzite is particularly admired for its striking veining and glistening surface, which can resemble the appearance of marble, adding a luxurious touch to any setting. Each slab of quartzite is unique, with patterns that can be bold and dramatic or subtle and soft, providing a distinctive, one-of-a-kind aesthetic.
Polished: Offers a glossy, reflective surface that intensifies the stone’s natural colors and patterns.
Honed: Provides a flat or matte finish that delivers a more contemporary look, while hiding fingerprints and smudges better than polished surfaces.
Leathered: Features a slightly textured surface that is more forgiving with stains and scratches, making it ideal for high-use areas.
Caring for quartzite involves routine cleaning with a soft cloth and mild detergent. It is important to avoid abrasive cleaners that can wear down the sealant. Regular sealing is advised to enhance its stain resistance. Quick attention to spills, especially those that are acidic or highly colored, helps prevent potential staining.
