Quartzite Slabs for Sale

Quartzite is an elegant natural stone that comes from deep within the earth. After years of high heat and pressure, sandstone condenses and forms this gorgeous rock into iridescent shades of white, gray, brown, black, and sometimes green and blue. Whether you want to enliven a kitchen counter or add a touch more naturalism to your garden design, quartzite is a popular choice for homes and properties around the world.

A Comparison of Quartzite vs. Quartz

The main difference between these materials is that quartzite occurs naturally, while quartz slabs are human-made using quartz and resin. Manufacturers can add pigment to the blend as well, making quartz countertops available in every hue imaginable. 

 

Quartzite is also available in various colors depending on its mineral composition and the conditions under which it forms. Shades of white and gray are common. Some slabs may have a pink, red or brown hue, while the rarest can have green and blue tints.

 

Form aside, quartzite outperforms quartz in a number of functional areas, including:

 

  • Heat resistance: Natural quartzite is a hard mineral, offering exceptional heat resistance. The resin in quartz lowers the slab’s melting temperature. While it is still best practice to protect natural stone from extreme heat, quartzite can withstand much higher temperatures than quartz without damage.
  •  
  • Durability: Quartzite also performs well against other forms of damage, like moisture and scratches. When you indulge in any of our quartzite styles, you can look forward to lasting beauty in your final results.
