What Polaris Quartzite Looks Like
The wavy blue-gray bands are the first thing you see on this slab: they cross a light gray background on the diagonal, in a palette of bluish gray and grayish white. The pattern is fluid and of medium contrast; within the slab the variation is moderate, with no sharp turns. The photo shows the slab in a glossy polish. Every slab is different: you choose yours from photos of the ones available.

Polaris Quartzite Finishes
The photo shows the slab polished, with the waves shining; honed and leathered lower that shine and change what you feel as you pass your hand over it.
-
Polished
The one in the photo: a high shine on the blue-gray waves and the light gray background.
-
Honed
Matte and soft to the touch: it cuts reflection and is the comfortable choice where the piece gets wet, like showers and floors.
-
Leathered
Leaves the surface with a relief you notice as you run your hand over it and brings the sheen down to almost zero.

Questions about Polaris quartzite
How is Polaris Quartzite different from Polaris Gold?
Both belong to the same family, and the pattern sets them apart. In its photo, Polaris Gold quartzite runs cream and ochre, with a net of orange veins and a petrol gray zone in the lower area. This Polaris slab stays light gray, with soft blue-gray waves. Before you buy, we send you photos of the slabs available for your order.
Does Polaris Quartzite work for a kitchen countertop?
Yes. A knife falls short: the surface scratches glass, not the other way around. Marble is the stone that suffers with heat and acids; this quartzite takes both with more calm. Cut on a board: what gets protected is the knife edge, not the stone.
Does Polaris Quartzite need sealing?
It depends on the slab you get: porosity is not the same in every quartzite. The test is simple: drop a bead of water and watch the stone, not the drop; if it darkens, that piece needs a sealer. For daily cleaning, mild soap is enough.
How do I tell Polaris Quartzite apart from a gray marble?
By hardness. A true quartzite scratches glass and a knife leaves no mark on it; marble is softer and scratches more easily. Some slabs sold as quartzite contain calcite, though: a few drops of lemon on an offcut show whether that piece reacts.
