Quartzite is very similar to granite. Most of the time people can’t tell a difference between the two stones. It ranks slight higher than granite on how strong it actually is.

Quartzite, like granite, does not scratch, burn or break (easily). Make sure to grab a cutting board for the veggies because quartzite will dull your knife before you scratch the stone. The stone is considered to be low maintenance because it is less porous than other stones.

Quartzite should be sealed annually to help keep it in tip-top shape. Chemical cleaners strip the sealant so make sure to stick to soap and water and other natural cleaners. There is not a spot in your home where quartzite wouldn’t look amazing, and why not brag about having something other than granite and quartz.
