Quartzite is like nature’s rock art, formed from sandstone under pressure and heat. It’s tough and comes in many colors and patterns, perfect for busy places like kitchens.

Quartz, on the other hand, is like a superhero mix of crushed quartz minerals and resins. It’s sturdy, doesn’t stain easily, and comes in lots of colors, though it looks more uniform.

If you want a unique, tough stone that needs a little care, go for quartzite. But if you prefer something low-maintenance with consistent style, quartz might be your pick. Both are great options depending on your taste and lifestyle.
