What is the uniqueness of Brazilian quartzite?
In terms of aesthetics, the phenomenal property of Brazilian quartzite is the uniqueness of the shades and layout of the mosaic pattern. Every slab that arrives at the Dulemba Marble Plant is different. This feature of the rock, which is attractive to designers, is the result of the natural process of formation of quartzites as metamorphic rocks. The combination of sandstone and siltstone under the influence of high temperatures and pressure gave a compact and hard stone, and the varied amount of additives in the form of minerals or natural dirt created small visual works of art under the surface of the quartz. The rich colors catch the eye and stimulate the imagination of everyone in the space filled with Brazilian stone.

The power of quartzite
The uniqueness of the stone is also reflected in its properties. It is a material of great weight, density and consistency. It is resistant to compression, bending, breaking. Its low hygroscopicity makes it not prone to moisture retention, mold. It does not lose its color and does not tarnish when exposed to UV radiation, temperature or chemicals. It can be flooring for underfloor heating. At the same time, some Brazilian quartzites are characterized by light permeability, and this rare quality for rocks can be brought out by highlighting the blocks in the composition of the arrangement. Thus, the originality of the rock mined in sunny Brazil lies not only in its visual uniqueness, but also in its very practical utility properties. Thus, it will prove itself both as a dominant feature of the arrangement composition, and as an exclusive detail, enriching the whole project.
