Description

Crystal White Quartzite may seem plain at first glance, but the deeper you look into its elegant white stone, you notice the incalculable gray veining and segments which combine it together. One part of the stone may only have a cloudy, transparent layer of gray in some spots, and is only predominately white. Its light coloring can be matched with a contemporary kitchen layout to enhance the room and transition into any color scheme you could imagine.

Quartzite is one of the hardest natural stones and will remain durable for years to come. It is perfect for places like kitchen and bathroom countertops, vanity tops, accent pieces, and more. It will remain a lasting statement piece in your home. Avoid abrasive cleaners in order to maintain the sealant, which should be reapplied every six months. With these care instructions in mind, your stone should last a lifetime. Crystal White Quartzite has moderate durability with scratching, staining, and chipping, meaning it will require continual upkeep to make it last. But like everything beautiful, the work is always worth it in the end.

A honed stone finish refers to the smooth, matte surface of the material, which creates a visibly lighter and softer tone. While honed finish might be an ideal design choice for some homeowners, it also makes the stone more susceptible to staining and etching.
