Taj Mahal quartzite has gained attention in the past decade. The popularity of this beautiful stone is in large part due to its versatility. But what is Taj Mahal quartzite?
Quartzite is natural stone formed in the Earth when sandstone is exposed to intense heat and pressure, causing the sand grains to recrystallize and form a stronger, more durable stone. Quartzite, because of its durability and its natural beauty, makes an excellent surface for kitchen countertops, vanities, fireplace surrounds and more.
Many people mistakenly believe that Taj Mahal, because of its name, comes from India. In fact, Taj Mahal quartzite comes from Brazil, particularly from the Uruoca region. Yet, the Taj Mahal name is for the Taj Mahal monument in India because the quartzite has similar coloration to the iconic stone monument.
Taj Mahal quartzite features a soft, creamy, white background with subtle, wispy gold veining. This elegant neutral stone is loved by interior designers, architects, builders and homeowners.
Taj Mahal is considered a relatively new discovery in the natural stone industry and has gained popularity worldwide in recent decades for its unique beauty and durability.
In the past ten years it has become very popular because its neutral warmth stands out from other stones as a perfect base from which to build the kitchen of your dreams. Taj Mahal adapts to warm and cool palettes and can be the foundation of a neutral kitchen or can support ample colors and textures you pair it with. You can take Taj Mahal from traditional styles to contemporary looks, proving its versatility.
The look of Taj Mahal is so admired that it has been replicated via technology as a quartz. We recently introduced our private label Eterno Printed Series which includes Taj Mahal for those who prefer quartz and its many benefits to natural stone.
If you are planning a kitchen or other home renovation project, we invite you to explore the many stones we have to offer and visit one of our showrooms in Haverhill, MA or West Bridgewater, MA to see – in person – the versatile beauty of Taj Mahal quartzite, or perhaps our newest Taj Mahal in our Eterno Printed Series.
