Marble vs quartzite

Nearly identical looks, very different wear.Marble and quartzite can look nearly identical, but marble is far softer and reacts to acids. If you want the marble look in a hardworking kitchen, quartzite performs better. If you want true marble character in a bath or fireplace, nothing replaces the real thing.

Common questions
Does marble stain or etch?Marble is porous and etches with acids like lemon, wine, and vinegar. It is sealed at installation and cleaned with a pH-neutral cleaner. Many owners come to love the etching as a lived-in patina.
Marble vs quartzite: what is the difference?They can look nearly identical, but marble is far softer and reacts to acids. Quartzite is much harder and better suited to a working kitchen.
Is marble a good choice for kitchen counters?It can be, but marble is happiest on baths, fireplace surrounds, and lower-traffic statement counters. For heavy kitchen use, quartzite gives a similar look with more durability.
Does marble need to be sealed?Yes. Marble is sealed at installation and resealed periodically. A simple water-drop test tells you when it is due.
