Unlike marble, which is a soft calcium-based stone, natural quartzite is formed from sandstone under immense heat and pressure. This geological process gives Nacarado Quartzite a rating of 7 on the Mohs hardness scale. It is incredibly dense, highly resistant to scratching, and immune to the acidic etching (from lemon juice or wine) that plagues traditional marbles.
Color & Pattern Description
The name "Nacarado" hints at a nacreous, mother-of-pearl quality. The stone's background shifts between soft cream, warm beige, and subtle taupe. Striking across this serene canvas are violent, beautiful fissures of rust-red, burnt orange, and golden brown. The crystalline structure of the quartzite gives the surface a slight translucency, allowing light to penetrate and reflect off the minerals within.
Available Finishes
A Polished finish is the most popular, as it acts like a magnifying glass, pulling out the rich amber tones and maximizing the stone's natural depth. For a more tactile, contemporary feel, a Leathered (Brushed) finish offers a softly textured, matte surface that is incredibly forgiving to fingerprints and daily wear.
Key Advantages
Extreme Durability: Harder than granite; highly resistant to scratches from knives or cookware.
Acid Resistant: Will not etch when exposed to household acids like vinegar, wine, or citrus.
Heat Resistant: Hot pans can generally be placed directly on the surface without causing thermal shock.
Exotic Beauty: Provides the fluid, dramatic veining of marble, making it a spectacular focal point.
Recommended Applications
Nacarado Quartzite is the ultimate choice for Luxury Kitchen Countertops, Waterfall Islands, Full-Height Backsplashes, Bathroom Vanities, Fireplace Surrounds, and backlit Feature Walls.
