About Crystal Acqua

Crystal Acqua is a mesmerizing green quartzite quarried from the rich geological formations of Brazil. This exotic natural stone features a translucent, watery palette of seafoam and mint greens, often interlaced with delicate white and grey veining that mimics the movement of a tranquil forest spring. As a true quartzite, it offers a remarkable hardness of 7 on the Mohs scale, providing superior resistance to heat, scratches, and acidic etching compared to marble. Its unique crystalline structure allows for stunning backlit applications, making it a premier choice for luxury islands and feature walls. Interestingly, its refreshing coloration is often the result of specific mineral inclusions like fuchsite or chlorite present during its metamorphic transformation from sandstone.
