Quartzite’s Appearance & Characteristics

Quartzite tile and slab is available in a wide variety of colors and finishes, from soft whites, neutral tans and warm grays to green and blue hues with touches of rust and gold. Many colors of quartzite can create a bold, dramatic look, like the dark-hued and striking Fusion slab. Some white varieties of quartzite also bear a strong resemblance to marble. For instance, Macaubus White and Calacatta quartzite have the classic veined look of marble.

Quartzite slabs have a sophisticated, natural look, with a unique sparkle from the crystalline structure that is often apparent in the stone. From polished slab to honed tiles, this material is available in several different finishes and textures.

Some quartzite tiles can also be used in outdoor applications, such as patios and exterior walls, to add a natural, earthy aesthetic similar to slate.

While quartzite is one of the hardest and most durable natural stones available, it is not indestructible. Like all natural stones, we recommend that you properly seal your quartzite slab and tile after installation to maintain its longevity and prevent etching and scratching. While quartzite is less porous than some stone types, it does still have the potential to stain if not sealed and maintained appropriately. Clean up spills promptly to ensure your surfaces stay looking their best for years to come.
