My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Is anyone familiar with this quartzite?

2 years ago

Hello,


I came across this stone, Baccarat Quartzite, when looking for a light colored quartzite. I have never heard of it and can’t find much info online. Does anyone have any experience with this stone?

    Places can call a stone anything they want, there are no rules on names. You need to get a sample and test it yourself. Many white or light colored stones are not quartzite at all, but dolomite or marble.
