Unlike marble, which is a soft calcium-based stone, natural quartzite is formed from sandstone under immense heat and pressure. This geological process gives Nacarado Quartzite a rating of 7 on the Mohs hardness scale. It is incredibly dense, highly resistant to scratching, and immune to the acidic etching (from lemon juice or wine) that plagues traditional marbles.
The name "Nacarado" hints at a nacreous, mother-of-pearl quality. The stone's background shifts between soft cream, warm beige, and subtle taupe. Striking across this serene canvas are violent, beautiful fissures of rust-red, burnt orange, and golden brown. The crystalline structure of the quartzite gives the surface a slight translucency, allowing light to penetrate and reflect off the minerals within.
A finish is the most popular, as it acts like a magnifying glass, pulling out the rich amber tones and maximizing the stone's natural depth. For a more tactile, contemporary feel, a finish offers a softly textured, matte surface that is incredibly forgiving to fingerprints and daily wear.
Harder than granite; highly resistant to scratches from knives or cookware.
Will not etch when exposed to household acids like vinegar, wine, or citrus.
Hot pans can generally be placed directly on the surface without causing thermal shock.
Provides the fluid, dramatic veining of marble, making it a spectacular focal point.
Nacarado Quartzite is the ultimate choice for Luxury Kitchen Countertops, Waterfall Islands, Full-Height Backsplashes, Bathroom Vanities, Fireplace Surrounds, and backlit Feature Walls.
