Beyond its beauty, Da Vinci boasts exceptional durability, ranking 7 on the Mohs scale, making it highly resistant to heat, scratches, and stains. Interestingly, this stone can exhibit a mesmerizing translucency, allowing it to be backlit for a dramatic, glowing effect in luxury installations.

Where it works
For this kind of stone, the usual applications are kitchen countertops, islands, and vanities. The right use still depends on the finish, the thickness, and how the slab will be cared for after it is installed. Inspiration photos show this stone in a Transitional Kitchen.
The material
Quartzite begins as sandstone and is metamorphosed into a hard, quartz-rich stone. It is chosen for kitchens and islands when a project wants marble-like movement with more scratch and heat resistance than marble. Density and absorbency still vary by quarry, so sealing should be confirmed on the slab in front of you, not assumed from the name. Movement can change across one lot, which is why the pieces are best compared side by side in daylight.
