This Quartzite is a metamorphic rock that develops naturally from sandstone and modifies over time under extreme heat and pressure. It's a naturally robust, heat-resistant stone that mimics marble but is more durable and resistant to scratches and other deterioration. It is mostly found in quarries worldwide, but Brazil produces more stunning and exotic designs here.

Quartzite has a hardness rating of 7 to 8 on the Mohs scale, equivalent to granite.
