Granite is an igneous rock which is a hardened form of lava.Granite has almost dominated the market for kitchen and bathroom remodeling, particularly on countertops, backsplash, and vanity tops. However, when quartzite came in, granite’s dominance has trembled. In terms of hardness using the Mohs Hardness Scale, quartzite scores at seven while granite is between 6 and 6.5. From this, we can say that it is definitely tougher than granite. Consequently, this is the reason why quartzite is usually used in border and railway ballasts construction.
