Yes. Leathered quartzite is one of the most durable natural stone options for kitchens. The textured finish hides fingerprints and water spots better than polished stone, and quartzite is harder than marble and most granites. The Magnolia Heights Estate uses leathered quartzite on every countertop surface because the homeowners wanted natural stone with the resilience to handle daily family use and large-scale entertaining without the staining risk of marble.
