The Pinnacle of Natural Strength.
Premium Quartzite Surfaces.

Forged by nature under immense pressure, quartzite is a masterpiece of the earth. As one of our highly sought-after flagship offerings, this extraordinary natural stone delivers breathtaking, sweeping veins alongside uncompromising durability. At Bordo Stone, our global infrastructure and direct quarry ownership allow us to bypass the middlemen, bringing the world’s most magnificent quartzite directly to your living space with master-crafted precision.

Our Flagship Natural Stone

While we honor a wide spectrum of premium materials, quartzite stands as a featured cornerstone of our catalog. It offers a rare, profound duality: the luminous, classic aesthetic depth often associated with marble, paired with a robust structural resilience that easily withstands the rigors of a bustling culinary space. Every single slab is entirely unique, transforming your custom kitchen countertops or bathroom vanities into unrepeatable works of art.

Hand-Selected from the Source

We believe that simplicity is the ultimate luxury. Navigating crowded showrooms and dealing with third-party fabricators can compromise the integrity of your design. Because we own the quarries and fabrication facilities, we strip away the noise. Our experts hand-select only the most striking quartzite slabs, ensuring absolute quality control from the moment the stone leaves the earth until it arrives in your home.

Why Choose Quartzite?

Quartz has quickly become one of the most sought-after countertop materials in the Pacific Northwest, and for good reason:

Marble-Like
Elegance

Unlike natural stones, quartz is completely non-porous. It never requires sealing, polishing, or special conditioning to maintain its factory-fresh finish.

Extreme
Durability

Because it lacks microscopic pores, quartz effortlessly repels spills from wine, coffee, oils, and makeup, making it perfect for both kitchens and bathrooms.

High Heat
Resistance

If you have a clear vision, quartz delivers. Its controlled process ensures uniform color and veining, letting you match large islands, backsplashes, and multi-unit layouts.

UV
Resistant

The non-porous nature of quartz means bacteria and moisture have nowhere to hide, providing a clean, safe surface for food preparation.

Clearing Up the Confusion

The names may sound similar, but understanding the difference between these materials is crucial to making the right investment for your home.

Quartzite vs. Quartz

Quartz is an engineered stone, meaning it requires zero sealing but is sensitive to high heat. Quartzite is a 100% natural stone mined from the earth. It requires annual sealing to prevent stains, but it is highly heat-resistant and offers an authentic, one-of-a-kind natural depth.

Quartzite vs. Marble

While marble is undeniably beautiful, it is a soft stone made of calcium carbonate that easily scratches and “etches” (dulls) when exposed to acids like lemon juice or wine. Quartzite gives you the marble look without the constant fear of etching.

Quartzite vs. Granite

Both are incredibly hard, durable, and heat-resistant natural stones. However, granite typically features a speckled, granular pattern, while quartzite is prized for its fluid, sweeping lines and lighter, brighter color palettes.
Pro Tip: Because quartzite is so dense and hard, it requires specialized, state-of-the-art equipment to cut and fabricate properly. At Bordo Stone, our in-house artisans have the technology and expertise to perfectly craft and edge your quartzite without cutting corners.
