Cristallo Pink Quartz

Cristallo Pink Quartz Countertops

Quartzite is a metamorphic rock, composed mostly of quartz crystals, which is what makes it so hard.  Most quartzite is scratch-resistant and all quartzite is heat-resistant.  Quartzite has been gaining rapid popularity in recent years due to its hard nature and often exotic looks.  It offers a timeless, natural look similar to many marbles—plus the added durability that marble lacks.  Quartzite has been used for kitchen countertops for many years, although it was never as popular as it is now.  

Cristallo Pink quartz is pure, completely translucent quartz featuring a rosy white background and fine, rose-beige and gold veining. Its delicate shades of color create a soft and airy ambience, and convey a sense of elegance and sophistication, while its transparency makes it perfect for backlighting. Furthermore, quartz is physically and chemically resistant to weathering and this makes it ideal for countertops and vanities.
