About Quartzite Countertops
Quartzite is a metamorphic rock that forms after quartz-rich chert or sandstone undergoes high pressures and temperatures. Through this process, grains become fused and create a solid, dense rock. Quartzite holds high hardness and quartz content, with up to 90% quartz makeup. Some products can even contain up to as much as 99% quartz. Quartzite is the largest and purest silica concentration in the Earth’s crust.
While quartzite looks similar to other countertop materials, like marble or quartz, there are many differences. For one, quartzite countertops give homeowners enhanced durability as they resist scratches and other kitchen-related damage from metal materials.
In addition, quartzite is a natural stone, which differs from quartz countertops. Quartz is a man-made material, while quartzite naturally lies in the Earth. This means quartzite can be a more sustainable countertop option. A majority of quartzite counter options will not etch from acids like lemon juice or vinegar.

Homeowners can find abundant quartzite kitchen countertop options at All Marble, Granite, & Tile. Our quartzite countertops come in a variety of colors due to the diversity in nature compressing minerals and metals during the metamorphosis process. The presence of iron oxide and other minerals makes the shades vary from pink, green, blue to red.
Quartzite is unique because homeowners can find the material in many lighter colors, making it popular for those who wish to brighten their kitchen spaces. In addition, because quartzite comes from natural stone, no two countertop pieces will be alike. Homeowners wanting to add a one-of-a-kind piece to their kitchen can accomplish this with quartzite countertops.
While quartzite looks similar to marble and sandstone countertops, quartzite offers more durability and holds up for long-term use. It is heat and scratch-resistant and provides more durability than other materials. However, quartzite countertops require maintenance and upkeep due to their porous composition. The All Marble, Granite, & Tile team can assist with countertop maintenance, sealing countertops after initial installation, and alerting homeowners when it’s time to reseal.
