White Tiger Quartzite?

last year

I just reserved this slab of White Tiger Brazilian Quartzite for a kitchen countertop and am now getting worried because I can find nothing about it online. White Tiger Marble, which is similar looking but with different colors, is the only thing that comes up. Has anyone here used (or even seen) White Tiger Quartzite?

Looks like marble to me.

They can call it anything they want. Only way to be sure what it is is to get a sample piece and run your own tests on it.

They get to charge more by calling it quartzite!

Calling it granite = outdated look , but quartzite = updated look!

Scratch the surface near an edge with a glass tile. Quartzite won't show a scratch.
