Free estimates. We call back within a few hours.
Quartzite and Quartz Are Not the Same Stone
The names confuse almost everyone. Quartz countertops are engineered from crushed quartz and resin. Quartzite is a natural stone, cut from the earth like granite.
Because every quartzite slab is natural, each one is different. Fernando guides Tallahassee homeowners through choosing, and tells you plainly how much natural stone can vary from a sample.

Is Quartzite Right for You?
Where It Shines
- A natural stone that often looks like marble, with its own movement in every slab.
- Every slab is one of a kind.
What to Know
- Stone distributor Arizona Tile recommends sealing quartzite to extend its life.
- Some slabs sold as quartzite are actually marble or dolomitic marble, a SlabWise guide warns, so ask questions before you buy.
- Clean it with a neutral cleaner, stone soap or mild dish soap and warm water.
Fernando will guide you through choosing and tell you honestly which one fits your home.

Questions We Hear
Which countertop stone is the most durable?
It depends on what you mean by durable. For scratches, our own stone comparison sheet rates quartzite the hardest, 7 or more on the Mohs hardness scale, ahead of granite at 6 to 7. Granite has the highest published heat tolerance, about 480 degrees Fahrenheit (Natural Stone Institute). Quartz resists stains best because it is nonporous, but its resin makes it the most sensitive to heat. Marble is the softest and the most sensitive to acid. Our stone guide compares all four.
What is the difference between quartz and quartzite?
Quartz countertops are engineered from crushed quartz bound with resin. Quartzite is a natural stone, cut from the earth like granite, and every slab is different.
Does quartzite need to be sealed?
Yes. We seal every natural stone slab before we install it, and stone distributor Arizona Tile also recommends sealing quartzite to extend its life.
