  2. Introduction • In this knowledge-rich series of knowing natural stone, we are going to see Quartzite rocks. It is a sedimentary type of rock and has immense commercial values in different industries, particularly in the construction field.  • According to geology, quartzite is a metamorphic rock consisting mainly of quartz.  • When the metamorphic process takes place on the quartz-rich sandstone, heat, pressure, and chemical influence enforce the recrystallization of sand grains. 

  3. What Are Properties of Quartzite Natural Stone? Combination of other minerals like iron and other impurities give it different colors, such as yellow, orange, brown, green, and blue. Quartz granules have the sugary appearance and glassy luster.

  4. Where Is Quartzite Natural Stone Found? • The formation of quartzite is mostly taken place during mountain construction events in the history of the planet earth. The occurrence of quartzite takes place at convergent plate boundaries where metamorphism process accomplished on sandstone rocks. Therefore, quartzite found in folded mountain ranges across the globe.  • In the USA • In the UK • In Canada • In India

It is a metamorphic rock formed from the sandstone through recrystallization and granular process. It has mineral quartz granules in its formation.  • Quartz is an engineered or manufactured product with 93% mineral quartz (Silicon Dioxide) granules embedded into 7% resin and pigments. Quartz not only mimic the appearance of natural quartzite stones, but also gives similar properties such as durability, scratch resistance, water, heat, and cold resistance, and stain-resistant surfaces.
