Description

It’s hard to pinpoint what makes Jurassic Black quartzite so beautiful. Is it the deep black voids which break up the beige, and white patterns? Perhaps it is the subtle accent of white and blues gently trying to peak through to add depth? Better yet, maybe it’s the brilliant reds and oranges which crash into the white to create a hodgepodge of colors fighting for attention. Or it is the combination of all of these small wonders existing together in a slab designed to keep your attention with dozens of artistic expressions to leave you in awe.

According to the MOHS hardness scale, Jurassic Black quartzite rates 7 out of 10 for overall hardness. This makes Jurassic Black a sturdy against heat, scratching, staining, and chipping. Implements these features wisely by installing it as your kitchen countertop, kitchen backsplash, bathroom wall, bathroom vanity or hot tub surround. No matter where you place it, Jurassic Black will be a masterpiece you won’t be able to take your eyes from.
