    With their unchanging brilliance, quartzites evoke the silent resilience of the elements and symbolise eternal beauty.

    Quartzite Geology

    Opting for quartzite is a choice for durability and efficiency, as well as authenticity. Quartzite is a metamorphic rock formed from quartz-rich sandstone that has undergone chemical metamorphosis in the earth’s crust under the effect of pressure and temperature. It is composed mainly of fused grains of quartz, which are themselves composed of silicon oxide molecules, giving it great hardness and strength.
