Quartzite
It is used widely for flooring, fireplaces, bar tops, vanities and shower or tub surrounds. It has flaking and chipping in the un-gauged variety. Because of flaking and chipping it is difficult to walk bare feet on them
Quartzite is a compliment to granite becuase they share many of the same qualities. Quartzite, however, has a very different look and feel, complementing the granite options. Quartzite is used in kitchens and bathroom and adds to the look of any project with its unique character and beauty.
