Granite vs. quartz

I love this quartz slab but hate the price. Is there a granite that looks similar to this?

If you are looking for a low cost alternative to this product, you may want to consider Snow Quartz. It has transparent qualities and the quartz appearance similar to that of the concetto line. I have attached a picture for you. I have also included a link to our website which has slab picture. Hope this helps. http://www.marbleoftheworld.com/index.php/default/slab-gallery/quartzite/snow-quartz.html

Snow Quartz is a quartzite. A natural stone quarried and cut from stone blocks into slabs. This particular quartzite has a crystalline appearance and translucent qualities that make it popular for back lit projects. The white Quartz from the concetto line is part of our Semi-precious collection. It is a crafted with semi precious white quartz crystals resined together to form a slab. I hope this explanation help if you have more questions, please contact our sales department for a more in depth explanation.
