Had to pick between a granite countertop or quartzite for my kitchen remodel in Boise

The granite was cheaper at $65 per square foot, but the quartzite from Brazil had this amazing movement in the stone. I went with the quartzite because it felt more unique, even though it cost about 30% more. Anyone have experience with how quartzite holds up to daily kitchen use compared to granite?

Wow, I was team granite until my quartzite proved tougher.

Good call going with the quartzite for the look lol. Mine's held up great for five years with zero stains or etching, even with two kids. The extra cost felt worth it for something that stays nice.

My sister's quartzite countertop cracked after a year.
