Quartz is an engineered, man-made product manufactured in a factory by combining elements of quartz, resin, and pigment. Alternatively, quartzite is a natural stone that forms 100% organically deep within the earth that is extracted in blocks by quarrying.

Quartzite is 100% natural and comes directly from the earth. Quartzite has formed in locations all around the planet, but the most well-known quartzite quarries are in Brazil. Quartzite is also quarried in the United States, Sweden, Canada, Norway, India, and Italy, among other locales.

Quartz counters are durable and more resistant to scratches, chips and cracks than other surfaces.. Quartz also resists water damage, stains, mold, and bacteria, making it an excellent choice for bathrooms, kitchens, and professional environments.
