What is Technological Quartz?
The technological quartz is a surface composed of up to 95 percent natural quartz in which pigments and resins are added. Through stone engineering, they are compacted by vacuum vibrocompression, obtaining a material with high resistance and decorative qualities.
Quartz is one of the most abundant minerals on Earth’s crust, and it comes in a very wide range of types and qualities. The Mohs scale, which compares the hardness of minerals depending on their capacity to score the surface of softer minerals, places quartz in position number 7, under the hardest elements: diamonds (10), corundum (9), and topaz (8).
