Super White Quartzite Kitchen in Calvert County, MD

This stone is Super White. It's actually a close relative of granite, quartzite (a natural stone not to be confused with the man-made "quartz"). The homeowner wanted marble in their kitchen, but they wanted the no-hassle care and durability of granite. We searched the market and found this stone, which is actually harder than granite. The home look out on the water in Calvert County and sits on several hundred acres. The house is a new build, but the homeowners wanted a classic look that would complement the historic local setting. The edge profile on the stone is ogee.
