Quartzite Stone

Sandstone or chert that is quartz-rich that has been subjected to high temperatures and pressures can metamorphose into quartzite stones. Quartz content and interlocking grain structure are two characteristics of quartzite. These are a solid rock that can withstand abrasion and the elements. Among their many applications are as a building material, decorative stone, and abrasive. For metallurgical uses and the production of silica brick, pure quartzites provide a source of silica. Quartzite stones are a type of natural stone that is created from mountainous debris. These are a very sturdy and long-lasting stone that is ideal for building and landscaping projects.
