How to Differentiate Between White Marble and White Quartzite

Choosing natural stone to use in your interior or exterior decoration, it is important to know the subtle but very critical differences between white marble and white quartzite to avoid technical costs in time, money, and possible headaches in maintaining your decorations. Midway through this guide, you’ll discover why Banswara White Marble remains the top choice for luxury applications and how it compares to its tougher counterpart, quartzite.

Banswara White Marble vs. Quartzite—Key Geological Differences

On the one hand, both white marble and white quartzite might superficially resemble each other; however, they are produced in tremendously diverse geological conditions:

• Origin and formation

• The marble is a transformed limestone, or simply it was never a sedimentary rock which is rich in calcite.
• Quartzite is a metamorphosed sandstone, and sandstone being composed mostly of interlocking grains of quartz.
  

• Durability Hardness

• Marble ranks between 3- 4 on the Mohs scale implying that it is soft and highly prone to scratches and etch marks.
• Quartzite Instead, quartzite is rated 7 + 8 and provides better resistance to abrasion and outdoor wear.
  

• Porosity & Maintenance

• Marble has a higher porosity that favors the absorption of liquids, so it should be properly sealed on a regular basis.
• With its tight grain structure the quartzite is less porous and can be more easily kept stain-free.

This geological foundation explains why many homeowners still favor Banswara white marble for its timeless elegance—while others select quartzite for high‑traffic or outdoor areas.
