Ducky and I stopped by Legacy Countertops warehouse on Saturday May 11, 2024. LoL, I even wrote the exact date.
I knew nothing about stones. All I knew was I wanted something that would not easily get scritches and scratches on the surface. My current countertop was just a simple kind. I did not know how to call the material, laminated wood or formica laminate or ?? Well, through time of cooking, baking, sewing, and all kinds of works on the top, it showed scritches and scratches.
After the visit at the Legacy Countertops, I started to do more research on the stones and the fabricators,
This website has good comparison of the Countertops materials but it would have been much better if it also mentioned Quartzite besides Quartz.

This website helped me understand the diferences of Quartz and Quartzite.

Cambria Quartz stones are so beautiful! I had zero knowledge that Quartz stones are engineered stones. No matter how Cambria's Quartz looks so dramatic in all of their patterns, for some reasons, after getting to know the fact, I started to lose interest in it. 😄
MC Granite lists lots of beautiful Quarzite patterns which are supplied by Exotic Stone Imports.
Ducky's preference was Quartzite from the beginning. I did not understand what Quartzite meant at first but now I know and I like it too. Granite is not for both of us. We both just don't like those speckles on the stone. Marble? I don't know why but we never mentioned Marble at all. For Quartzite, Ducky said he liked the natural vein pattern on the stone. I called it the Flow of Life! Our blood veins are the flow of life of our bodies. Rivers are the flow of life of the earth. Hence, to me, Quartzite veins are also the Flow of Life of the nature!
Can't wait for Ducky to come back on June 10. Then, we will go checkout more Quartzites stones at MC Granite over Jasper, Georgia, about 30 miles or 50 minutes away from our Sunrise home. Can't wait to see which Quartzite pattern will be our final pick! Would it be Infinity White?
New countertop vocabulary (for me 😁)
