Quartz is a common silicate mineral with the chemical formula silicon dioxide (SIO2). It has the following key characteristics and uses.

Structural Characteristics.quartz benchtops Quartzite has high chemical stability, physical durability and mechanical strength. Its crystal structure is a three-dimensional network of silica tetrahedra, which are hard and not easily broken.

It is not prone to breakage. Quartzite is designed to have an extremely high value hardness, with a Mohs hardness rating of 7, second only to diamonds. This means that it is able to carry on resisting as well as being scratched by knives,quartz slabs spatulas, and other sharp objects used in the kitchen, and is not prone to developing a number of scratches or breakages.

It is not prone to contamination. The surface formation of quartz stone has the development of better corrosion resistance, can be carried out to resist the kitchen in the acid and alkali and other chemical research material erosion.quartz vanity tops Daily life use of liquid substances culture will not affect the penetration of its internal, long time placed on a surface of the liquid, only need to wipe with water or detergent can be.

Not easy to aging. Quartz stone surface after complex polishing process, make it bright and durable as new. Even after a long time of use, its surface is as shiny as a newly installed countertop and requires no special maintenance.

Primary Uses. With its excellent performance and low cost, quartzite is widely used in kitchen countertops, bathroom vanities, window sill flooring and other areas.

Natural Causes. Quartzite is a product of the earth's magmatic activity, usually in the form of megacrystals, fine crystals, or granular crystals in igneous rocks, and often forms vein rocks, such as the Yingtian vein. In identifying quartzite, we focus on characteristics such as color and relative density of the luminescent grain structure. Usually colorless or yellow quartzite is the most common. It has a glassy surface with shell-like notches, a relative density of 2.65, and is heavy and somewhat compressive. In addition, quartzite fluoresces when exposed to ultraviolet light.
