What is Quartzite, it’s Advantages & Disadvantages Quartzite is a natural metamorphic rock that starts out as sandstone and evolves over time under intense heat and pressure that makes it a dense, hard rock. It is then fused with resins, polymers and pigments and quarried and cut into slabs. It is rated #7 on the Mohs Hardness Scale. Advantages: It is hard. It is beautiful like marble, with natural swirling and veining, but without the softness. Easy to Clean. Caution: It must be sealed first in order to easily clean. Avoid abrasives, as they will break down the sealant exposing the porous material and cause it to stain. It is also resistant to chemicals. Because it is natural, each stone is one-of-a-kind. It is UV resistant, it won’t fade when exposed to natural light. It won’t etch. Real Quartzite, not so called “soft” quartzite, which isn’t quartzite at all, is resistant to acids like lemons.
