Natural stone hard enough for a working kitchen.
Quartzite is sandstone that heat and pressure turned into a stone harder than marble. You pick the slab at the yard, and we tag it, template the room and have it cut and set.
It's a natural stone, so no two slabs match, and the veining in a photo is a guess at what the next slab off the same block looks like. That's why we'd rather you walk the yard and put your name on the slab than pick from a screen.
Some stone sold as quartzite etches like marble when lemon juice or vinegar sits on it. The ones listed here as soft quartzite behave closer to that. A drop of lemon on an offcut at the yard settles the question in ten minutes.

Quartzite, asked and answered
No. Quartzite is a natural stone cut from a quarry. Quartz countertops are engineered from crushed quartz bound with resin. Quartzite takes heat better; quartz never needs sealing.
Most does. It's hard, but it's still porous, so it's sealed after install and again when water stops beading on the surface. How often depends on the slab.
3 cm is the usual kitchen thickness and sits straight on the cabinets. 2 cm is lighter and suits a vanity or a backsplash. The thicknesses each slab comes in are on its page.
