QUARTZITE

Quartzite is the result of millions of years of seashells and bones of sea creature settling as settlement on an ocean floor (hence it is called a sedimentary stone). Quartzites are metamorphosed quartz sandstones. Fireproof and non-slippery, these are used in wall-cladding, roofing, flooring and for all types of interior as well as exterior decorations. Medium-grained and usually of a granolithic texture, these can be cut to slabs, pavements, flags and are usually used as quartzite tiles.
