Green Quartzite is an excellent and spectacular silicate metamorphic rock mined in the renowned deposits of Peru. Recognized in contemporary architecture and high-end interior design for its exceptional color saturation, veined and energetic structure, and superior mechanical performance, it represents a top-notch silicate ornamental stone.
Visually, it stands out for a fluid and dynamic aesthetic with a background matrix declined in shades of emerald green, jade green, mint green and sage green, capillarily furrowed by veins, flamings and streaks in shades of quartz white, silver grey, gold, bronze and translucent shades. The veined pattern ranges from parallel and layered structures to strongly clouded and pictorial textures.
Geologically it is a silicate metamorphic rock with a very high quartz content (>80–90%), whose green color is due to the presence of micro-inclusions of fuchsite mica, chlorite or epidote. Being a strictly silicate matrix stone and completely free of calcite, it does not react to household food or chemical acids (such as lemon, vinegar, wine, juices, or common anti-limescale cleaners) and is not subject to opacification or acid corrosion. It boasts exceptional hardness (Mohs scale 7, higher than normal granite), extraordinary resistance to abrasion, scratches, heavy trampling, frost and direct heat. It has a very low water absorption rate (~0.10–0.20%).
– designer kitchen tops and island: an excellent choice for kitchen tops and counters for intensive use thanks to its absolute imperviousness to food acids, scratches and heat.
– bookmatch compositions: the directed movement of the veins allows for mirrored creations with enormous visual impact on accent walls and scenographic wings.
– high-traffic flooring and cladding: ideal for executive lobbies, hotel suites, walkways, and exteriors subject to frost and heavy mechanical wear.
– bathroom, SPA and vanity top rooms: widely used for shower trays, floor-to-ceiling upholstery and bathroom tops, combining natural elegance and unalterability over time.
