White Lux Quartzite
White Lux quartzite is a quiet and serene stone which blends a white stone base with light veins. The veins never feel too pronounced that it feels like seeing a small mirage or an illusion in the distance. Something just barely visible to stimulate the imagination, luring you in to see what else can be seen within the stone.
White Lux is quarried in Brazil and has an MOHS rating of 7 out of 10. Its high durability resistance make it exceptionally for kitchen countertops, bathroom wall, hot tub surround or indoor bar material. White lux has excellent resistance to scratching, staining, and heat. It does has some pores and pitting, requiring it to be sealed. A sealer will help prevent water and debris from getting it and damaging the stone so you can have White Lux around for a long time.
