Is Shadow Storm Granite Very Hard

I m considering using shadow storm marble in my master bathroom renovation this spring.

Is shadow storm granite very hard.

My cabinets are a very creamy white. The dealer insisted it was extremely hard and was a true quartzite. The granite supplier referred to both fantasy brown and shadow storm as hard marble which i believe is what quartzite is. Quartzite might be the most befuddling normal stone out there.

Shadow storm is a grey and white quartzite stone that has a strikingly similar appearance to marble. Shadow storm stone isn t likely a genuine quartzite but instead a hard marble that displays some quartz like properties. In my humble opinion shadow storm was the absolute closet dupe to cararra marble in a solid stone. Literally it feels like sunshine came into the kitchen when the new counters were installed.

Trying to see what professionals feel it is and their experience with it in kitchens. Since quartzite is a more durable material than marble it is able to withstand the daily wear and tear of high traffic areas such as a kitchen countertop and main bathroom vanity top. I am getting differences of opinions on what it is quartzite granite hard marble. We bought shadow storm and were told it was quartzite which is very very hard.

The stone features beautiful veins. Going from brown granite to a white quartz reflected versus absorbed the light. We asked the dealer if this stone was really quartzite as some articles suggested it was a softer stone form of dolomite or marble. I chose shadow storm for our kitchen.

As always one slab can look completely different than the next but the overall look of shadow storm is a white granite with pearl and light grey striations.
