A Unique Color and a Rough Texture

Metamorphic Strong and Durable Stone
Desert Quartzite is a quartzite stone meaning it is a hard, durable metamorphic rock which was once sandstone. The sandstone is converted into quartzite through heating and pressure. Quartzite can have a glassy look and the stone can resemble marble. The stone is primarily white or gray but a great mix of accent colors are present. These accent colors are due to a mix of mineral impurities such as iron oxide in the stone.
