When you think of quartz, you may think of the ever-so-popular Taj Mahal, or you may underestimate it and think of a boring shade of white. Well, quartz is so much more. Quartzite is a natural metamorphic stone formed when sandstone is subjected to intense heat and pressure, fusing its quartz grains into a dense, durable surface. Harder than granite and resistant to etching, it’s prized for its crystalline shimmer and dramatic veining—often mistaken for marble, but far tougher.
