<p>Yes. What can be greener than a product that comes directly from the earth?</p>

<p>The composition of the material is not the single factor. There are a few factors that will affect in the cost of the material such as: the scarcity of that material, the beauty, the color, the quality of the quarry, how easy it is to get the material in the USA, and so on.</p>

Natural stone is 100 % recyclable! No other building material is as recyclable.

<p>No, we are a supplier. In case you don&rsquo;t have a fabricator yet, we work with a large number of fabricators and we can help you find one and get your slabs fabricated and installed by them.</p>

YEAH! Natural stone will last for at least 100 years.

<p>The more prepared you come, the easier it will be for us to help you choose the perfect match.</p>

<p>Researchers confirmed that natural stone does not directly emit VOCs.</p>

<p>We normally can deliver within 48 hours. Before you leave, you will get a delivery date to your material.</p>

<p>Always use a neutral cleaner, keep it simple. Use a clean and soft cloth for best results. Do not use any acids.</p>

<p>Cash, check, wire transfer and major credit cards.</p>

<p>Material can come in both thickness, the way its fabricated will change a bit, in order to get different types of edges. Prices for 3/4&rdquo; (2cm) are slighter cheaper.</p>

<p><strong>Quartz </strong>is a mineral from Nature. It can be found in nature with a variety of colors, shape, and form.&nbsp;</p> <p><strong><img src="https://www.gaiastonegallery.com/storage/faqs/June2019/Quartz Mineral.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="190" /></strong></p> <p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Quartzite</span></strong> comes from Nature, PERIOD. It's all natural, 100%! No additives, no chemicals or anything.&nbsp;</p> <p>Quartzite is very, very HARD! Quartz is 7 on the Mohs hardness scale. Quartzite doesn't etch from all normal kitchen acids, not one bit. They are heat resistant to all normal kitchen uses.

Crushed quartz mixed with polymers, resin, and chemicals is used to create a so-called, <strong>Quartz Slab</strong>. These surfaces are sold in the market as natural. It didn't come from Nature like that, for that reason, we don't consider natural. To better understand, we like to use the metaphor of engineered food (GMO or GE) in order to explain the engineered slab. It's not hard as Quartzite and its not heat resistant as the real one.&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><img title="Quartz sample" src="https://www.gaiastonegallery.com/storage/faqs/June2019/Quartz sample.jpg" alt="Quartz sample" width="400" height="280" />&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Do not miss our great selection of <span style="color: #3366ff;"><a style="color: #3366ff;" title="Quartzite Stones" href="https://www.gaiastonegallery.com/product/quartzite"><strong>Quartzite stones</strong></a></span>. You will be amazed by these beautiful natural stones.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Every slab is unique, so, they do change. At Gaia we always sell slabs in sequence, in this case, the difference between one slab and the other is minimal.</p>
