Forged by the intense metamorphosis of pure marine sands, Matira Quartzite is a stone of exceptional resilience and translucent beauty. Composed of 98% recrystallized quartz, its granoblastic structure reveals a history of extreme geological pressures that resulted in a white, compact, and incredibly durable surface. The perfect choice for projects requiring the visual sophistication of marble with the unparalleled technical performance of a pure quartzite.
Every detail in natural stone comes from the perfect mix of minerals, creating colors, veins, and textures that can’t really be copied. It’s a natural formation that holds the story of the Earth, shaped over millions of years.
A very common mineral in the continental crust made of pure silica. It is essential in granites, sandstones, and quartzites and is known for its high hardness and glassy shine. It is highly resistant to weathering and forms beach sand. It comes in many colorful varieties, like amethyst, and is important for making glass and watches.
The most common white mica in the Earth’s crust. It is rich in potassium and aluminum and is found in granites, pegmatites, and schists. It stands out for its perfect cleavage, allowing it to peel into thin, flexible, and transparent sheets. It was once used as glass in ancient Russia and today is used as a thermal and electrical insulator and in cosmetic shine products.
Minerals that do not let light pass through, even in very thin slices. Unlike silicates, they look black under a regular microscope. They include native metals, oxides, and sulfides like gold, pyrite, and magnetite. They have a strong metallic shine and are the economic base of metal mining around the world.
