Quartzites
Quartzite is a hard, non-foliated metamorphic rock which was originally pure quartz sandstone.
Origin
Quartzites is a non-foliated metamorphic rock composed almost absolutely of Quartz.
Quartzites is the result of sandstone & mineral quartz being put under extreme heat & pressure. Atleast 90% of Quartzite rock is quartz. The purest form of silica found on earth can be found in Quartzites.
Physical Properties
Color | Pure Quartzites is white but quartzite exists in wide variety of colors. |
Hardness | Hard (Quartz is 7 on MOH Scale of Hardness |
Texture | Granular |
Other Properties | Quartzites is a metamorphic rock from Quartz Sandstones. |
Chemical Composition
The Chemical Composition of Quartz Minerals is Silicon Dioxide SiO2.
Other Properties
One of the most hard & durable stone available. It is harder than glass and harder than knife blade.
Resistance to acids: Quartzite will not etch from acids. Quartzites is Ideal for any countertops Surface due to its strength and long lasting Composition. Consider Natural Quartizite Countertops for its Strength, Beauty and overall durability.
