Care
Alexandrita Quartzite is a hard stone: a light seal after installation, a pH-neutral cleaner and no abrasive powders keep it as it was laid. Hot pans and knives are fine on a counter; a chopping board still spares the polish. How to care for natural stone →

Questions about Alexandrita Quartzite
What is Alexandrita Quartzite?
Alexandrita Quartzite is quartzite from Brazil. It is a metamorphosed sandstone: the look of marble with the hardness of granite. Flora Marble imports it as blocks and slabs and cuts and finishes it at its own factory at Athal, Silvassa.
Is Alexandrita Quartzite harder than marble?
Yes; quartzite is as hard as granite, which is why Alexandrita Quartzite works on a kitchen counter where a marble of the same look would etch and scratch.
What finishes and sizes does Alexandrita Quartzite come in?
Alexandrita Quartzite is supplied polished as standard, honed or leathered on request, as full slabs, cut-to-size, book-matched pairs, typically 18–20 mm; other thicknesses on request. Slab sizes vary lot to lot, so we send the measurements and photographs of the actual slabs before anything is confirmed.
Where can I see Alexandrita Quartzite slabs?
Stocked slabs stand to be seen at the Flora Marble gallery in Vile Parle East, Mumbai, a few minutes from the airport (open mon–sat, 10 am – 7 pm); a catalogue stone is sourced to order and shown to you before you commit. Every slab is cut and polished at our own factory at Athal, Silvassa, where buyers are welcome.
Does Flora Marble deliver Alexandrita Quartzite to Delhi?
Yes. Alexandrita Quartzite leaves the Silvassa factory by road for every state in India, Delhi, Bengaluru and Hyderabad included, crated and strapped for the journey. Each city has its own page with the road distance from the factory and the Mumbai gallery and how an order from there usually runs.
How is Alexandrita Quartzite priced?
Per project, slab by slab: the slabs selected, their sizes, the finish and the cutting all move the figure, so there is no list price online. Send the drawings or the areas and the finish you have in mind and Flora Marble will quote the Alexandrita Quartzite it would select for you, with photographs of those slabs.
