Design Dilemma Kitchens

Has anyone used Aria QUARTZITE? Vs White Macaubas.

8 years ago

Hello-

Has anyone used Aria quartzite for their counters? Because of the brand name of the quartz seller, I'm having problems finding advice/info on it. (I'm wondering if it will hold up like a "true quartzite".)

I'm debating between that and white macaubas.

Thank you!!

Aria- love it!! But it does discolor with heat. I have it as a counter top and backspash and i wish i didnt carry it behind my stove. (would have done stainless).

pictures would help a lot. the only way to know if it will hold up is to test it. But you should still have it sealed.

It kinda looks like Calacatta Quartzite. Many stones go by different names.

But totally test it!

It's kind of weird that the photos have alt-text that say Montclair Danby Marble?

Hi Erin
Thinking of using aria quartzite - can you tell me a little more about your experience ? Could you possibly send me a photo of the discolouration you had from heat ?
