Texture Analysis
Super white is also a type of metamorphic rock similar to marble but is much harder. According to geologists, it is a dolomitic marble or a quartzite, non-foliated, hard metamorphic rock originating from pure quartz sandstone. When the sandstone converts into quartzite due to heating and pressure caused as a result of tectonic compression in the orogenic belts within the earth it leads to the formation of super white quartzite.
Chemical analysis
More often the pure quartzite will have a gray or white color, though some may also have different shades of red and pink because the super white quartzite tile contains iron oxide in varying amounts. You can also find some tiles having a mix of other colors including blue, orange, green and yellow due to the presence of mineral impurities in a small amount.
The Mohs test gives the super white granite a hardness mark of 8 out of 10 which means that it is also harder than the glass and can be easily used to cut it. Apart from the varying shades in super white granite, the impurities also give the stone amazing swirls and patterns.
