CRISTALLO
QUARTZITE SPECIFICATION

Cristallo Quartzite is among the rarest and most
luminous natural stones in the world a premium hard quartzite characterised
by an ethereal white-to-ivory base adorned with delicate gold and
warm caramel veining that flows across the surface in sweeping, calligraphic
strokes. Quarried from select geological deposits in Rajasthan, India,
Cristallo belongs to the elite category of translucent quartzites whose
crystalline silica content gives the stone a soft inner glow when lit, making
it arguably the most visually spectacular quartzite available for luxury
interiors. Its exceptional hardness, near-zero porosity, and outstanding
resistance to heat, acids, and abrasion give it a functional profile that far
surpasses marble offering the beauty of the world's finest white stones with
the durability of quartzite. Cristallo is the definitive material for designers
and buyers who demand the extraordinary.

vitreous; exceptionally smooth and luminous when polished; silky sheen on honed
finish
Density: 2.62 2.70 g/cm
(Hard quartzite; significantly denser and harder than marble)
Water Absorption: < 0.1% (Virtually impervious highly resistant to staining and
moisture ingress)
Compressive Strength: 160 220 MPa (Superior to most marbles; excellent for countertops and
high-use surfaces)
Hardness (Mohs): 7 Harder than marble (34) and granite (66.5); outstanding scratch
resistance
Acid Resistance: High Quartzite composition resists etching from citric acids and household chemicals

BACKLIT
POTENTIAL

Cristallo Quartzite possesses a remarkable
natural translucency a hallmark of the highest-grade crystalline quartzites.
When backlit, the stone transforms dramatically: the white crystalline matrix
glows with a warm, diffused luminosity while the gold and cham.pagne veining
becomes intensely radiant, creating a living, breathing surface of
extraordinary visual impact. This quality makes Cristallo the premier choice
for backlit counters, illuminated reception desks, floating feature wall
panels, and luxury retail installations where light and stone converge into a
statement no other material can replicate.

GANGSAW
SUITABILITY

This block has been assessed as fully compatible
with standard gangsaw processing equipment. The estimated dimensions of L-310
cm B-120 cm H-200 cm are well within the gang saw processing envelope. The
exposed wire-sawn face visible in the block photograph confirms prior precision
cutting and attests to the block's internal consistency and freedom from
structural fractures an important quality indicator for slab yield and
processing efficiency.
Recommended Processing: Gangsaw slabs (2 cm & 3 cm), followed by calibration, honing, or
polishing
Expected Slab Yield: 90%
Finish Options: High polish, honed, leathered, or brushed all achievable with this
material
