Quartz
Quartz is a great option for those looking for something more customizable. This option is manmade and can be found in more patterns than other options. The price of this option varies on how hard the pattern is to achieve. It is formed by pouring pulverized pieces of quartz and other minerals that are mixed with cement-based resin into a mold so it can be used to fit smaller or difficult spaces. Quartz is not porous unlike natural rock, so it does not need to be sealed and maintained. It is antimicrobial since it is not porous, but it is not heat resistant like the other options. It is only able to resist heat up to 300 degrees.

Quartzite
Quartzite is a stone harder than granite or marble, so it must be cut with diamond blades! Quartzite is originally formed by a process of high heating and pressurization of sandstone related to tectonic compression. It is then reheated which causes the individual quartz pieces to recrystallize, giving the Quartzite a shimmering pattern. This countertop is very strong and is perfect for kitchens and bathrooms. This mineral has low porosity which contributes to it being antibacterial, anti-mold and easy to clean.
