Patagonia quartzite is primarily quarried in the Patagonia region of South America, specifically in countries like Argentina and Chile. The region's rich mineral composition and tectonic activity contribute to the diverse colours and patterns found in Patagonia quartzite, making it a sought-after material in the stone market. This stone is a striking metamorphic rock with dynamic patterns of white or grey crystal set against a creamy stone base. It is usually speckled with an array of different minerals ranging from metallic blacks to bright golds and even a highly reflective silver that shines brightly.

Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to common questions about our stones, care instructions, and the purchase process.
Other than resealing, we recommend using ordinary surface protectors such as coasters and placemats where possible. When cooking, always use a cutting board, especially when dealing with acidic foods such as lemons that may discolour the stone. If there are spills on the stone, make sure to clean them in a timely manner.
Etching is the erosion damage that occurs when the natural stone comes into contact with acidic substances including citrus, wine, tomatoes, alcohol and some types of juice. Staining refers to the discolouration of stone when a pigmented substance is absorbed and trapped beneath the surface.
The three most popular finish options in our warehouse are; polished, honed (matte), and leathered. We receive the slabs pre-finished from the quarries, and it is up to the client if they would like their fabricator to refinish their purchased slab.
“Bookmatched” slabs describe the mirroring effect that occurs when two adjoined pieces of stone have reversed patterns. The term refers to its likeness to an opened book.
