Tokyo Light Quartzite

Tokyo Polished Quartzite – Detailed Information

Tokyo Polished Quartzite is a natural stone known for its striking visual appearance, combining the elegance of marble-like veining with the performance of quartzite. Quartzite is a metamorphic rock formed when sandstone is subjected to high heat and pressure, resulting in an extremely hard and durable surface. When finished in a polished surface, this stone reveals its natural patterns with a high-gloss sheen that enhances color depth and detail.

🎨 Appearance & Visual Characteristics

• Base Colors: Typically soft tonal variations including whites, greys, creams, and subtle beige

• Veining & Pattern: Natural, flowing veins and layered textures, sometimes with linear streaks

• Polish Finish: High-gloss surface enhances color contrast and highlights natural mineral content

• Visual Effect: Luxurious and refined with depth and dimension

The polished quartzite finish offers a look that resembles high-end marble but with stronger physical properties.

⚒️ Physical & Material Properties

• Highly durable: Very high hardness (typically around 7 on Mohs scale)

• High resistance to scratching and abrasion

• High heat resistance

• Low water absorption when sealed properly

• Strong structural integrity

• Suitable for heavy traffic and high-use areas

Quartzite is widely considered one of the toughest natural stones — stronger than marble and often comparable to or exceeding granite in performance.
