Quartzite Natural Stone - A Complete Guide

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.

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.

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

What Is the Difference Between Quartz and
Quartzite?
  • Quartzite is a naturally formed natural stone and
    also terms as Quartz arenite in the modern
    geology. 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.

Architectural Application
  • Thanks to its natural beauty and availability in
    a range of colors, it is a good architectural
    element where weather, wear tear, and
    maintenance are points to focus.

Interior Applications in Construction Industry
  • Thanks to its natural beauty and availability in
    a range of colors, it is a good architectural
    element where weather, wear tear, and
    maintenance are points to focus.

Conclusion
  • We have seen that quartzite is a sturdy, durable,
    and appropriate choice of natural stones for
    exterior applications like a patio, swimming pool
    deck, porch, and walkways. It is a superior
    selection when you go for an external application
    with luxury and utility point of view.
  •  World of Stones in Maryland, USA is an ideal
    destination to get natural stones for exterior
