What is the difference between quartz and quartzite?
To answer this question, there is a difference between quartz and quartzite. The most important thing is to compare the structure and appearance of these two gems. The most important difference between quartzite and quartz is that quartzite is a natural stone, while quartz is a man-made artificial stone. After a natural heating and pressurization process, the shiny quartz crystals of sandstone form quartzite. When making Quartz countertops, manufacturers use quartz crystals found in natural quartzite. However, they also add pigments, resins, glass shards and other materials during the manufacturing process to customize the appearance of quartz, making it more durable, non-porous and easy to maintain.
In terms of appearance, quartzite is usually light gray and white with swirls and shadows in the middle. The red, brown, pink and gold tones come from the minerals in this natural stone. Natural quartz stone looks like granite or marble due to its pattern, texture, movement, color, shade and tone. Because it is artificial, the quartz countertop stone looks like any stone-granite or marble. Those who like a consistent pattern and movement love quartz.
Both quartzite and quartz are durable. However, the density of quartz is lower than that of quartz, so more attention is needed, especially in busy places and places where the kitchen is frequently used. Just like sealing granite, you also need to seal quartzite to avoid soiling its surface. After sealing, the quartzite has super resistance. If you choose quartz stone, you will get a countertop surface that does not require any maintenance except for cleaning with warm water and mild detergent every day. However, different surface treatments will require more or less maintenance, so make sure to set the correct expectations with the manufacturer.
