Hi Darrel,

Quartzite is a more costly stone per square footage to install but it is highly heat-resistant, fire-resistant, scratch-resistant, and stain-resistant. But stain-resistant and scratch-resistant does not mean stain-proof and scratch-proof so regular cleaning using mild detergent is recommended for this type of stone whenever spills occur.

By the way, if you're remodeling a bathroom, it might be a good idea to consider replacing the existing light fixtures with new ones. We would recommend these (the PDF's on the site will provide add'l info & specs):

Fiammi Sconce

Lean On Me Sconce

Tessa Sconce

Le Marais Sconce

It might also be a good idea to consider replacing the vanity mirror or adding an accent table, if space allows. We would recommend these mirrors and accent tables:

Maru Mirror

Sola Mirror

Rosa Mirror

Ora Mirror

Tasha Table

Boa Table

Nobu Nesting Table

We hope this information will help you make a more informed decision on your home needs.

Very Best,

Tai Truong

We've had white macaubas quartzite in our master bathroom - countertop for the vanity, shower threshold and on top of the pony wall for the shower - for 5 years now and have never had one problem with it. It was sealed at installation and not since and still looks like new.

Should work well. Would recommend not doing ogee edge but rather square with slight edge. More durable. You will love it!
