In the heart of the Earth, in remote geological eras, quartz-rich sandstone rocks were subjected to intense pressure and extremely high temperatures: this is how quartzite was created, a metamorphic stone that is much harder and more compact than all other natural stones. Under perfect conditions, accessory minerals, iron oxides, and other elements are included in the mass, giving it surprising and unexpected colour variations.
Pink Cristallo Quartzite is one of the most precious varieties among the spectacular quartzites extracted in Brazil. It is a quartzite with a soft pink background, crossed by ivory, lilac, and copper veins, with a “cloudy” structure and slightly translucent areas. Its composition, almost entirely quartz, makes it highly resistant to compression, abrasion, chemicals, and thermal shock, excellent characteristics for surfaces such as kitchen countertops and high-traffic flooring. Thanks to its incredible translucency, it can be backlit for dramatic effects, decorative walls, or architectural details.
It is widely used in high-end interior design projects, thanks to its preciousness and its delicate and unusual aesthetics. This soft coloured quartzite is increasingly inspiring international architectural firms to experiment with dramatic and exotic designs.
If you are looking for the perfect balance between technical strength and delicate aesthetic look, Cristallo Pink Quartzite is the natural stone that will make your projects unforgettable.
