Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to the most common questions about our quartzite countertops here.

What is quartzite made of?

Quartzite is a natural stone formed when sandstone undergoes intense heat and pressure within the Earth’s crust. This process fuses the quartz grains together, creating an extremely hard and dense surface. Because of its durability and striking veining, quartzite is often chosen as a natural alternative to marble for countertops and backsplashes.

Are quartzite countertops durable?

Yes. Quartzite is one of the most durable natural stones available for countertops. It ranks 7–8 on the Mohs hardness scale—harder than glass or steel knife blades—and is highly resistant to scratches, heat, and everyday wear. When properly sealed, quartzite also resists stains and moisture, making it ideal for kitchens and bathrooms.

Do quartzite countertops need sealing or special maintenance?

Quartzite is a porous material, so sealing helps prevent liquids from penetrating the surface and causing stains. Most fabricators recommend sealing quartzite annually or as needed, depending on usage. For daily care, simply wipe the surface with mild soap and warm water. Avoid harsh cleaners or abrasives to preserve the stone’s natural polish and long-lasting beauty.

Past Customer

"I would highly recommend Artistic Marble! I worked with Jaimee and I was not the easiest client. I was looking for a very specific looking quartzite for my full kitchen remodel. He pulled slabs for me, stayed late at work to accommodate my work hours, and we finally had to end up searching for a bundle online. He found the PERFECT bundle and the install went smoothly. I just love my waterfall island and countertops."
