Description
Silver quartzite is a very hard and compact rock. Quartzite is a metamorphic rock whose base is sandstone. The sandstone was transformed into quartzite by high pressure and extreme heat. The stone has a high frost resistance, low water absorption, high slip resistance and resistance to acids, alkalis, chlorine and salts. This is why this material is very popular in swimming pool and wellness areas.
