What Pietra Ollare Quartzite Looks Like
A green so dark it borders on black makes the background, and the granular pattern mixes gray and white over it. A white vein snakes along the diagonal, joined by fine white lines, with contrast at a midpoint. Without a single reflection, the green in the photo stays matte. The grain changes with moderation within this slab.

Questions about Pietra Ollare Quartzite
How do I tell Pietra Ollare apart from a dark green marble?
With two tests, because they can look alike at a glance. Like any true quartzite, this stone scratches glass and a knife leaves no mark on it; a marble is softer. If doubt remains, a drop of lemon on an offcut settles it: stones that contain some calcite or dolomite react.
Does Pietra Ollare Quartzite work for a kitchen countertop?
Yes: the kitchen is strong ground for this stone. It resists heat and acids far better than a marble and a knife leaves no mark on it; still, cut on a board so you don't dull the edge. Natural stone for kitchens has more countertop options.
Does Pietra Ollare Quartzite need a sealer?
It depends on the slab: each quartzite carries its own porosity and some absorb more than others. Drop a bead of water on an offcut: if the surface soaks it in and looks darker, that slab asks for sealer. On this stone a sealer helps, because stain resistance is medium.
Is the slab photo real?
Real: the two photos show the same slab, complete and in a close-up of the grain. Every slab carries a different pattern. Before you buy, we send photos of the slabs available for your order.
