Natural stone is available in various materials and thousands of colors. It would be impossible to include all of the options in one place. As such, the information on this page is not exhaustive and is intended for educational purposes only. Below you will find general information regarding natural stone that will be useful when making decisions regarding your project.
- Fan favorite for design because of its versatility
- Bright, elegant, and adds character to any project
- Not the hardest of the natural stones, making it porous and therefore susceptible to staining
- Requires some maintenance over time
- Available in more “uniform” patterns/colors as compared to marble, but still has naturally occurring imperfections
- One of the sturdier natural stones, making it harder to stain
- Often cited as the most durable natural countertop material available
Quartzite
- A naturally occurring form of sandstone that has undergone intense heat and pressure
- Very durable, non-porous material that comes in a wide variety of colors and designs
- Has the delicate veining of marble and similar color and pattern to some granites
Quartz
- Man-made by combining crushed rock with resin to form slabs
- Arguably the uniform look between the most popular stones
- Colored with pigments, so it can come in almost any color you can imagine
- Exposure to direct sunlight may discolor the resin that binds the slab together
