Quartzite
Quartzite - isn't that the same as Quartz?
The short answer is no. Quartzite is an all natural stone that has undergone extreme heat and pressure underground to bring you the widely varied, beautiful and durable quartzite. Since this is a natural stone, the color is determined by a myriad of trace minerals and the sandstone it was originally formed from. This is a natural, porous stone so it does require a sealer.
