Now on to debunking the incorrect info shared by Quartz Stone Care. It's especially important that pros get this information correct.
He (assuming "he" but could be wrong) wrote:
"No white quartzite is a true quartzite..... the white color come from calcium which is the same base as marble."
No, that is entirely incorrect.
Quartzite can certainly be white. It's white color comes from... wait for it... quartz! The mineral quartz can be white, clear, grey, pink, purple, yellow, salmon, and near black. Those are natural colors.
Furthermore, lots of minerals can be white. White is perhaps the least diagnostic color in all of geology.
"All White labeled quartzites are soft stones..."
Nope.
Please, I beg of you, bone up on this information so that you are not sharing/spreading false info. You are doing yourself no favors, not to mention the people that see your "pro" status and follow your advice. The whole reason I work on this topic is to help people in the industry understand this better, so that customers can make informed choices. Read any of the articles I've written on this topic, ask me any questions you have, and please get the facts straight. It's in all of our best interest to be educated ourselves and help customers become educated as well.
Thank you!
