Discover Azure Quartzite, a natural metamorphic stone formed from sandstone under intense heat and pressure, combining a marble-like look with exceptional hardness. Its palette features blue, cream and gold tones with bold, eye-catching movement. It is also sold as Blue Roma.
Look and Character
As with any natural stone, each Azure slab has its own pattern and color variation. Seeing the full slab in person is the best way to pick the perfect one for your project. It is available here in a polished finish.
Best Uses
Use Azure quartzite for kitchen countertops, statement islands, waterfall edges, bathroom vanities and accent walls. For a balanced design, combine it with white, gray, navy or natural wood cabinetry.
Care and Maintenance
Quartzite is very hard and stands up well to heat and daily use. Clean with a pH-neutral cleaner, wipe up spills promptly and reseal periodically to keep it protected.

Azure FAQ
Is Azure Quartzite good for kitchen countertops?
Yes. It is a durable, practical choice for kitchen countertops, islands and vanities in everyday use.
Does Quartzite need to be sealed?
Yes. Like other natural stones, quartzite should be sealed, usually every 1 to 2 years. A simple water-drop test tells you when it is time.
How does Azure Quartzite compare with marble?
It gives a look close to marble but is much harder and less prone to scratching and etching, which makes it a popular choice for busy kitchens.
Can I see the actual Azure slab, and do you serve Mount Pleasant and James Island?
Yes. Natural and engineered surfaces vary by lot, so we help you see the actual slab before fabrication. Stonphase serves Charleston, SC and nearby areas including Mount Pleasant, James Island and North Charleston.
