This is a quartzite and is called White Macaubas. I love the linear look of it!

How does it hold up is it as durable as granite or as delicate as marble

Hi Lyn, If it is a true quartzite, it should not etch. However, many stones are being labeled as quarzite's when they are not a true quartzite. Then, they usually have marble tendencies and need to be treated with care as a marble. Some will etch just like marble. We always test for the customer. Since there is no type of control on stone names, an importer or anyone who sells slabs can change the name and call it anything they like. So, it is best to be an educated buyer and work with a fabricator that spends time to educate you about your slabs and what to expect.
