Quartzite is commonly regarded as metamorphic in origin. When sandstone is subjected to the great heat and pressure associated with regional metamorphism, the individual quartz grains recrystallize along with the former cementing material. Quartzite is a decorative stone that may be used to cover walls, roofing tiles, flooring, and stairsteps. Its use for countertops in kitchens is expanding rapidly. It is harder and more resistant to stains than granite. Crushed quartzite is used in road construction.
Once is a valuable stone. Onyx is famous for its unique appearance. It is translucent and can be lit from behind or underneath. Here are a few applications that Onyx can be used: Fireplaces, vanities, decorative showpieces, and reception desks.
Onyx is fragile and delicate natural stone. It can be installed as a countertop, and it is best to use it as a countertop in an area of the house that is not heavily used. Instead, Onyx can shine as a custom bar countertop, commercial bars, or reception desks as a wow factor.
Marble is a metamorphic rock that has been recrystallized under heat, pressure, and aqueous solutions. Because the main structure of marble is calcium carbonate, it is softer than granite. Marble ranks four on the Mohs mineral hardness scale. It comes in various colors and patterns. Commercially, it includes all decorative calcium-rich rocks that can be polished. Marble is heat resistant. Therefore, it’s easier to maintain.
