Drove 10 hrs to see/test quartzite slabs - still can’t decide
Comments (13)I forgot to add, I did the glass test on sample B and it scratched the glass easily. I can’t say for sure that Option A is not a quartzite since I could not test, but given the research I’ve done on Mont Blanc, it’s likely to have some properties of marble with respect to staining and etching (both of which I can live with). What I do not want is the softness of marble - the propensity to chip. I also do not want major water staining at edges, seams and cutouts. Since I can’t test Option A, I can’t know for sure how it will perform in this regard. So I’m taking the risk with eyes open. I really love the stone and hope it works out.

Comments (7)Hi! we sealed our counter 1x after we got our first stain. we didnt realize we needed to seal it at all per our installer. it doesnt seem like the sealer has helped at all. i contacted arizona tile where i purchased and they stated i needed to seal it 3x and re-seal it every 6 months 🤷🏻♀️ i love the look of this quartzite but the staining is definitely depressing. this is our newest stain (today, from a cup of water)...See MoreGreen mark on Taj Mahal quartzite slab.
Comments (3)It's probably a mineral inclusion. If it's a one-off spot on the slab, it might always look like there is a "mark" on it, but if there are hints or splotches of that bluish-green color elsewhere in the slab it might not bother you so much. That's up to you and how much it's going to bug you. Or, ask the fabricator if he can cut the stone in such a way that the area is excluded or in a spot on the counter where it won't be noticeable....See MoreNeed help: prefab quartzite slabs, flat eased edge with laminate
Comments (3)These slabs are pre fabricated on three sides. The same vendor will template, fabricate and install the slabs. The quote looks good. The existing island slab in the photo was there when I bought the house. I don't know anything about the installation process. It is 1.5 inches thick. The new slab, which is the one on the bottom of the slab photo is fully laminated. It measures 1.5 inches across. This seems to me somewhat a waste of materials. They essentially glued two 3/4" slabs together and sold as one slab. Am I missing something?...See Moredan1888
