Natural Strength, Refined Beauty — Quartzite for Elevated Design
Quartzite is a natural stone that combines the bold visual elegance of marble with the rugged strength of granite—making it one of the most coveted materials for high-end countertops. At Encore Stone Studio in Austin, our quartzite collection is hand-selected to offer the best in durability, movement, and design versatility.
Whether you’re looking to add drama to a waterfall island or craft a luxury spa-like bathroom, quartzite provides the perfect intersection of performance and natural beauty.
Austin’s Destination for Premium Quartzite
Our 22,000-square-foot Austin showroom features over 3,500 slabs in total, with dozens of exotic and classic quartzite options on display. From the flowing veining of Taj Mahal to the soft layering of Sea Pearl or the bold patterns of Azul Macaubas, each slab offers a unique character only nature can produce.
Quartzite is especially well-suited for:
- Kitchen countertops and statement islands
- Bathroom vanities, showers, and surrounds
- Full-height backsplashes and accent walls
- Outdoor kitchens and entertainment areas
Unlike quartz, quartzite is a natural metamorphic stone formed under intense pressure and heat. It is incredibly hard and often outperforms granite in resistance to scratching, chipping, and high temperatures.
