1/19/2021 A Deep Dive Into the Properties of Quartzite-Use Natural Stone <br /> • There's a gradient of stones along a continuum from sandstone, to intermediate <br /> quartzite, to crystalline quartzite. Some stones are a mixture of quartzite and schist <br /> and/or gneiss. <br /> As always, don't take my word for this. Stone names are variable, and stones themselves <br /> are variable. The properties will tell you so much more than the names. Always test <br /> potential stones before committing to them, because even stones in the same family can <br /> have very different physical characteristics. Learn as much as you can, and let that guide <br /> your decision about which stones to work with. Sandstones and quartzites are fabulous, <br /> durable stones with a range of colors, patterns, and potential uses.The better we <br /> understand them, the more we can enjoy them. <br /> TAGS: geology quartzite educate karin kirk <br /> SIMILAR ARTICLES: <br /> The ;�..- <br /> Definitive <br /> Guide To <br /> Granite <br /> •uartzile `5 <br /> (quartziteWW <br /> �� <br /> 'rla,4 <br /> https://usenaturaistone.org/properties-of-quartzite/ 14/16 <br />
