As two rocks are not same, it's fun to compare them. Dolomite is a sedimentary rock containing more than 50 percent of the mineral dolomite by weight. Quartzite is a non-foliated metamorphic rock that forms by the metamorphism of pure quartz Sandstone. These rocks are composed of many distinct minerals.
Also know, is Dolomite the same as quartzite?
Super White Dolomite is not marble, granite, or quartzite. It is sort of in between marble and granite. It is important to note that dolomite countertop durability is slightly weaker than the durability of a quartzite countertop. Quartzite is a non-foliated metamorphic rock.
Similarly one may ask, is Dolomite good for kitchen countertops?
Dolomite: Also, although dolomites will hold up better than marble or calcite to acids and etching, they can still etch. Dolomites make a great looking countertop and can be used in the kitchen, bathrooms, etc., but don't expect the same performance as a harder stone like granite or quartzite.
Granite and Quartzite can scratch glass, marble and limestone can not. Marble and limestone will dissolve (effervesce) from exposure to acid, Granite and Quartzite, generally do not. So what is SUPER WHITE then???? Super White is a Dolomite, Which is a marble.
