Quartz

Not completely a natural stone, it consists of 95 per cent ground natural quartz and 5 percent polymer resin. It encompasses a wide range of colours you will find in natural stones like marble and granite. However, the difference is it is non-porous, stain-resistant, heat and scratch-proof but can be vulnerable to excessive force and high temperatures. It is definitely more durable and stronger than granite and marble but is less expensive.
