What is so special about Fusion Quartzite?
One of the most fascinating features of Fusion Quartzite is the presence of distinct layers and waves that give the stone its charismatic appearance. These layers are the result of the mineral impurities present during its formation. Each layer and wave tell a story, giving the stone an almost painterly quality, making it a true work of art.
Where does it come from?
Quartzite forms from sandstone when it is compressed in the earth’s oven deep beneath the surface of the planet. Over millions of years, the sand grains recrystallize into a harder and denser structure. This high-pressure metamorphosis happens over decades in many locations on the globe, with the most well-known quarries emerging in Brazil.
What does it look like?
Fusion offers a stunning range of color options that are sure to appeal to a wide range of design aesthetics. From soft, ethereal off-white to dramatic, dark greys, the colorations of Fusion Quartzite are as diverse as the natural world itself.
Earthy Beiges: For those who appreciate a more earthy and grounded look, Fusion can come in warm beige and taupe tones. These shades bring a sense of warmth and tranquility to any space.
Bold Greys and Greens: If you desire a more dramatic and luxurious aesthetic, check out IRG’s Crystal Fusion. This variation of the stone features grey and green hues with striking white patterns that evoke a sense of mystery.
Deep Blues: In rarer instances, Fusion Quartzite can display deep blue veins that add an element of surprise and natural beauty to your design.
The coloration of Fusion Quartzite is a testament to the vast array of minerals that interacted during its formation. This gives each slab its distinctive and irreplicable appearance, making it a truly one-of-a-kind natural stone option.
