Cristallo Quartzite

Cristallo Quartzite is a Brazilian hard quartzite of exceptionally high quartz purity — its white, near-transparent crystal ground and fine grey and gold vein detail are secondary to its most commercially singular property: a natural translucency that allows polished slabs to transmit light from behind, making it the only quartzite in wide international trade that performs credibly as a backlit feature wall and illuminated surface material. Rated harder and more acid-resistant than marble, and free of the calcite content that causes etching in softer quartzite varieties, it delivers the visual restraint and luminosity of fine white marble with a material performance profile that marble cannot match.
