Quartzite is a naturally occurring metamorphic rock which is created when sandstone is subjected to extreme heat and pressure caused by tectonic plate compression in the crust of the earth. The stone is mined and sawn into slabs which are later precisely cut to become countertops.
Quartzite is notably found in very light colors, even those that resemble marble, which makes them especially attractive to those who prefer elegant white countertops in a natural stone.
