Super White Quartzite
Super White is primarily a dolomitic marble with some quartzite elements, formed from metamorphosed limestone and quartz sandstone under high temperatures and pressures. Its appearance features a white background with elegant gray veining, often resembling marble. The texture can sometimes be described as a "breccia," with white marble fragments embedded in a matrix.
