A natural quartzite for people who want real stone that stands up to daily kitchen use; we check each slab and tell you honestly how much care it needs.
Catalogue · Quartzite
Quartzite has veining reminiscent of marble, but the density and hardness of granite. Despite the name, it isn’t engineered quartz but a natural stone formed from sandstone deep in the earth, and every slab has a character of its own. Our catalogue has 11 quartzites, among them Taj Mahal and Kalahari in beige tones and the white White Macaubas, priced from 281 €/m².

-
A green natural quartzite for people who want real stone with real toughness: harder than marble and comfortable with the heat of a busy kitchen.
-
A black natural quartzite for a kitchen with gravity: hard, heat-tolerant real stone that suits islands and long worktops in busy homes.
-
A blue natural quartzite for statement kitchen islands and bathroom vanities — a hard, characterful stone where no two slabs are quite the same.
-
A natural quartzite chosen for its individuality: hard stone, never identical between slabs, and best judged in person before the drawing is made.
-
A beige natural quartzite for those who want real stone with genuine hardness – each slab individual, with sealing needs assessed slab by slab.
-
White natural quartzite for those who want real, hard stone rather than an engineered copy. Every slab differs, so it is best chosen in person.
-
A blue natural quartzite — hard, distinctive and unique from slab to slab — for a kitchen island or vanity where the stone itself is meant to be the talking point.
-
A beige natural quartzite for those who love the warmth of real stone but want more toughness than marble offers. Heat-tolerant and hard-wearing.
-
A natural quartzite for those who want real stone with more scratch resistance than marble – hard-wearing in the kitchen and individual in every slab.
-
A white quartzite with the hardness of natural stone, suited to islands and long runs where the surface is touched, leaned on and used every single day.
Don’t mix them up
Quartzite is not quartz
Two similar names, two different materials. Which one suits your kitchen depends on whether you value a one-of-a-kind natural pattern or low-maintenance consistency.
Quartzite — a natural stone
Formed deep in the earth when quartz-rich sandstone came under heat and pressure. Every slab has its own veining and tone, the surface needs sealing from time to time, and neither the heat of the hob nor sunlight changes the stone.
Quartz — a factory composite
Made from crushed quartz, pigment and resin. The colour is consistent from slab to slab and no sealing is needed, but the resin can’t take direct heat or constant sunlight. You’ll find all our quartz stones in the quartz catalogue.
Colours
Quartzites by colour
The colour group is only the beginning. Because quartzite is a natural stone, slabs differ even under the same name, and the choice often comes down to how the veining runs across the slab.
Light and creamy
Taj Mahal and Kalahari are beige, White Macaubas and Madreperola white, and Colonial Cream, as the name says, creamy. Light quartzites suit a white or wooden kitchen and give it a soft warmth.
Blue
Blue Roma and Ocean Blue are blue quartzites for anyone who wants the worktop or bar to be the first thing people notice in the room.
Dark and green
Belvedere is a dark quartzite and Avocatus a green one. Both are bold stones for a kitchen island, a fireplace surround or a bathroom vanity top.
Who it suits
When to choose quartzite
Quartzite is a natural stone for people who want the beauty of marble but need a harder surface in the kitchen. If you’re torn between quartzite and marble, compare them side by side at the showroom.
Quartzite is your stone if
- you want a marble-look surface that is less afraid of lemons and knives
- the kitchen island, bar or fireplace surround should be the focal point of the room
- you like knowing that nobody else has a worktop exactly like yours
- a sunny kitchen or a glazed terrace must not change the colour of the stone
Choose something else if
- you’d rather not seal the worktop now and then — quartz and ceramic stone are non-porous
- all the slabs must be exactly the same, for example for a long strip along a wall
- you’re after an even black or grey surface — look at granite
In practice
How quartzite behaves day to day
Sealing
Quartzite is dense but not non-porous, so it needs sealing like any natural stone. The sealer slows down absorption and gives you time to clean up. Around the sink, where there’s always water and soap, check the sealer more often.
Lemon and wine
Quartzite resists acid far better than marble, but it’s still not worth leaving lemon juice, vinegar or wine standing on the surface. Wipe them up once the cooking is done.
Heat and sun
There is no resin in quartzite, so the sun doesn’t change its colour and a pan lifted off the hob leaves no mark. If a raclette or table grill is going to sit on it for hours, though, put a mat underneath.
Edge and cut-outs
On this hard stone we grind a straight, chamfered or rounded edge profile, and the CNC machine at our Patika factory makes the cut-outs for the sink and hob. We agree the thickness and edge based on the specific slab.

281 €/m²Starting price of the natural quartzites in our catalogue.
Quartz from

The price of quartzite per square metre covers the stone, not the work. The edge profile, cut-outs, delivery and installation are added separately in the quote, and the total is known before the slab goes under the saw. An LHV furnishing loan lets you pay in instalments; prices for labour and fabrication are together in the price list.

Quartzite is a natural stone formed from sandstone under heat and pressure: dense, hard and veined like marble, but unlike engineered quartz it contains no resin. The catalogue has 11 quartzites from 281 €/m², among them Taj Mahal, White Macaubas and Kalahari.

Here you’ll find all 11 quartzites and their prices per square metre. Each stone’s page has photos and specifications; because every slab is different, ask before you decide which slab we can show you at the showroom.
Frequently asked questions
How much does a quartzite worktop cost?
Quartzite starts at 281 €/m²; you’ll see the price of a specific stone on its card. Quartzite is a hard stone that takes time to cut and grind, so the fabrication appears as a separate line in the quote; we also account for the number of slabs, the edges, cut-outs, transport and installation. Quote within 24 hours on working days.
Is quartzite suitable for a kitchen worktop?
Yes: dense, hard quartzite stands up to everyday kitchen work and isn’t bothered by normal kitchen heat or sunlight. The same stone suits a kitchen island, a bar top and a fireplace surround, where its pattern becomes the centrepiece of the room. Like any natural stone, quartzite needs sealing from time to time.
Does quartzite need sealing?
Yes. Quartzite is denser than marble, but as a natural stone it has pores, especially in the lighter varieties. Sealing gives you time to wipe up spilt wine or oil before it soaks into the stone; when the surface starts absorbing water and darkening, it’s time to renew the sealer. Day to day, warm water and a few drops of neutral detergent keep the stone clean.
How do choosing and installing quartzite work?
With natural stone every slab has a different pattern, so it’s worth judging the stone at the showroom from a sample and a full-size photo: book a visit to our Noblessner showroom and let us know in advance which quartzites you’d like to see. Measurement within a week — from the laser measurements we set out on the production drawing what goes on the island, what goes on the worktop and where the cut-outs fall. Installation 10 working days from drawing approval. 100+ stones in stock, plus nearly 600 more within a week’s delivery.
Are quartzite and quartz the same material?
The names are similar; the materials are not. Quartzite is a natural stone whose quartz grains fused tightly together under heat and pressure deep in the earth: every slab is unique, it needs sealing, and it handles normal kitchen heat and sunlight. Quartz, or engineered quartz, is made in a factory from crushed quartz and resin: the pattern is even and no sealing is needed, but a hot pan needs a trivet and it isn’t suitable outdoors.
