[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is so much misinformation about this quartzite. It is quartzite btw. It's in the same family as Fantasy Brown and others with similar names.

For people who are unfamiliar, quartzite is not quartz.

It DOES etch. Marble etches can be repaired. From what I was told quartzite etches can't be repaired. It is porous like marble and will crack and chip more easily than granite. I installed it in my master bath and had some etching in the 4 years we had it. I would never put it in my kitchen but see lots of people doing that when I look online.

Oh no!  I’m bummed to hear this. We are not tidy cooks. I haven’t seen much else that doesn’t have the typical mottled look granite has, includes the gray-and-tans I’m looking for, and goes well with our cabinets. What were the main things that caused etching?

Np here - we used Antico Cloud quartz, which had a nice mixture of taupe, white, and dark grey (similar to the color scheme you’re looking at) and looks great with our medium brown cabinets. Don’t know if you have any interest in quartz, but wanted to throw that out there as an idea.  [/quote]
