Imagery is representative of the stone type and visual character. Natural stone varies between slabs and lots. Current material will be presented for review as part of the sourcing process.

Stone family

Quartzite

Quartzite combines the visual depth and movement of natural stone with a hard, quartz-rich structure. Arcera can source quartzite where a demanding surface needs to carry a strong material character.

Typical colours
White, grey and cream through to gold, green and deep blue, often with translucency.
Movement
Crystalline depth with veining and banding that can be fine and directional or broad and pooling.
Common finishes
Polished, Honed, Leathered
Lead time
Approximately eight to 12 weeks, sourced to order

Describe the character you are after.

These are visual references to help you describe the appearance you prefer. They are not stock, and not a list of what Arcera holds.

  • Light and restrained

    Pale crystalline field with soft grey banding.

  • Strongly contrasted

    Bright ground with defined dark banding running across the slab.

  • Dark and dramatic

    Deep blue, green or charcoal with luminous quartz movement.

Considered for scale and use.

  • Kitchen benchtops and islands

    Frequently specified where durability and a strong natural character are both required.

  • Statement and feature surfaces

    The crystalline structure holds light, which suits surfaces intended to be the subject of a space.

Natural variation

Colour saturation and banding vary substantially between lots. Material sold as quartzite varies in quartz content, which affects hardness and porosity.

Natural stone is inherently variable. Colour, veining, movement, fissures, texture and surface characteristics differ between slabs and lots. Representative imagery is provided to communicate the general character of the stone only. Final material selection should be confirmed against available slabs before purchase, fabrication or installation.

Care and specification

Generally harder and more acid-resistant than marble, though not uniformly so. Sealing requirements depend on the specific stone and should be confirmed per lot.

How Arcera sources quartzite.

  1. 01

    Share your requirement

    Provide the stone type, application, dimensions, finish and project timing.

  2. 02

    Arcera reviews suitable material

    Arcera checks supplier availability, suitable varieties, slab sizes and sourcing options.

  3. 03

    Review current stone

    Representative samples, slab imagery or current supplier lots are presented for consideration.

  4. 04

    Confirm and order

    The selected material, quantity, finish, price, freight and expected delivery are confirmed.

Allow approximately eight to 12 weeks from confirmation of the selected stone and order. Lead times remain subject to material availability, production, shipping and customs.

Source stone for your project

Tell Arcera about the stone character, application, approximate dimensions, finish and timing you require. We will review suitable sourcing options and return with available material, indicative lead time and next steps.

Common questions
Can Arcera source quartzite for my project?

Yes. Arcera sources quartzite to order. Share the character, application, approximate dimensions, finish and timing you need, and Arcera will review suitable sourcing options and return with available material and an indicative lead time.

How long will quartzite take to arrive?

Allow approximately eight to 12 weeks from confirmation of the selected stone and order. Lead times remain subject to material availability, production, shipping and customs.

What finishes are available in quartzite?

Polished, Honed, Leathered are commonly available. What is practical depends on the specific stone and supplier lot, so include the preferred finish in your enquiry and Arcera will confirm.

Will the stone look exactly like the imagery shown?

Colour saturation and banding vary substantially between lots. Material sold as quartzite varies in quartz content, which affects hardness and porosity.

Does Arcera fabricate and install quartzite?

Fabrication and installation support may be available depending on location, material and project scope. Include the requirement in your enquiry so Arcera can confirm the appropriate pathway.
