What is Cristallo Quartzite
Cristallo Quartzite is a natural metamorphic stone derived from sandstone under intense heat and pressure. The result is a dense, crystalline surface combining quartz, silica, and natural minerals that produce its distinctive look.
Its light, translucent qualities allow it to interact dynamically with light, making backlit design features possible and visually striking.Unlike marble, it offers greater hardness and durability.
Why Choose Cristallo Quartzite
Durability & Strength
Cristallo ranks among the harder natural stones — offering impressive resistance to scratching, chipping, and heat.
Visual Depth & Translucency
Does more than look good — it interacts with light. Backlit installations highlight its crystalline structure and depth.
Unique Veining & Color
Soft white bases contrasted with grey, beige, and golden veins or flecks provide visual drama.
Design Flexibility
Works for countertops, islands, walls, and accent features. Also suitable for both modern and classic interiors.

Kitchen & Home Applications
Cristallo is ideal for areas where beauty and function meet:
-
Kitchen Countertops & Islands — radiant focal surfaces
-
Backsplashes & Wall Panels — continuous veining across walls
-
Bathrooms & Vanities — elegant, durable, moisture-tolerant
-
Fireplace Surrounds & Feature Walls — dramatic display
-
Backlit Projects — when placed in thin sections (2–5 mm at edges) or mitered edges, light can pass through for a glowing effect.
Finishes, Slab Sizes & Custom Options
Cristallo is offered in multiple finishes to suit varied aesthetics:
-
Polished — high gloss, depth-enhancing
-
Honed / Matte — understated, soft glow
-
Brushed / Leathered (if available) — subtle texture
We offer standard and jumbo slab sizes — e.g. 126″ × 78″ or larger, in 2cm thicknesses.
Custom edge profiles, bookmatching, and slab selection ensure each project aligns with your vision.
Maintenance & Care for Cristallo Quartzite
Although durable, Cristallo requires some care:
-
Sealing: Recommended yearly or per fabricator specs
-
Cleaning: Use pH-neutral stone cleaners or gentle soap and water
-
Avoid harsh acids or abrasives
-
Heat/Trivets: While resistant, use trivets to protect surfaces
-
Spill Management: Wipe spills quickly to avoid staining
With good habits, your Cristallo surfaces will maintain their appearance and performance over time.
Cost & Value Considerations
The price of Cristallo Quartzite can vary based on:
-
Veining complexity and translucency
-
Slab size / yield
-
Finish and customization
-
Installation difficulty (backlit, mitered edges)
While it may command a higher price than ordinary stone, its unique aesthetic, strength, and luxury appeal deliver strong return on investment.
