[quote=Anonymous]QUARTZITE IS NOT QUARTZ Quartz is a shitty suburban cookie cutter McMansion/flip job material. Some of the newer stuff is getting better but it’s still basically our generations Formica. Quartzite is a natural stone. The reason it’s not used more is that it’s expensive and it’s pretty close to marble so it etches more easily especially if it’s not maintained. Granite is popular because you don’t need to baby it to keep it looking original but the movement and character aren’t as interesting. Quartzite is amazing but you have to be prepared that oils and acids will cause some dull spots over time. Certainly the typical gloss finish is hard to keep. Satin and leathered have their own downsides but etching is less noticeable. [/quote]
