What Black Tempest Quartzite Looks Like
Large creamy white patches set the diagonal over the deep black background. Fine gray waves, also diagonal, run with them in a fluid pattern. Contrast is high: the creamy white stands out sharply against the black. The polish in the photo leaves the surface glossy. Within this slab the pattern changes a lot from one area to another.

The one in the photo: high gloss on the black, with well-defined creamy white patches.

Questions about Black Tempest Quartzite
How do you tell Black Tempest apart from Titanium quartzite?
By the pattern. In the photo, the Black Tempest slab pairs fine gray waves with large creamy white patches lined up in a diagonal. In its photo, Titanium quartzite carries gold and beige inclusions shaped like flames.
Does Black Tempest quartzite work for a kitchen countertop?
Yes: a true quartzite scratches glass and a knife cannot mark it. Lemon, wine and the heat of a pot leave far less trace on this stone than on marble. A drop of lemon on an offcut tells you whether this slab reacts, because some quartzites carry calcite.
Does Black Tempest quartzite need sealer?
It depends on the quartzite: some barely absorb water and others ask for sealer. A drop on an offcut reveals it: if the stone darkens under the drop, that piece is better sealed. Mild soap is all its cleaning asks for. Cut on a board to protect the knife's edge.
Is the slab photo real?
Real: the slab in the photo is a true Black Tempest, in its polished finish. Yours will come with a pattern only it has; you approve it by seeing its photos. Before you buy, we send you photos of the slabs available for your order.
