Quartzite is a natural metamorphic rock formed from sandstone that has been subjected to intense heat and pressure. It is primarily composed of quartz, giving it its durable and attractive properties. Quartzite is a versatile and durable natural stone widely used in various applications, from construction to decorative projects. This metamorphic rock is prized for its beauty and resilience, making it a popular choice among homeowners, architects, and designers.

Quartzite begins as quartz-rich sandstone, typically composed of about 90-99% quartz grains. Under intense heat (typically between 200°C to 700°C) and pressure, the sandstone undergoes recrystallization. This process fuses the quartz grains together, eliminating porosity and significantly increasing the rock's hardness and durability. Primarily composed of quartz, quartzite may contain minor amounts of mica, chlorite, or other minerals, depending on its original sandstone composition.
