How durable is the Cygnus "granite"?

Jeremy Hourigan
vor 8 Jahren
We are contemplating putting Cygnus quartzite (Bedrosian calls it quartzite) in our home. Can anyone comment on the durability of this stone. It's clearly a sedimentary rock (not a granite)...i'd like to know if it is calcareous (i.e. has some of the constituent mineral in marble and limestone). If so does it stain / etch easily?

    It's a standard granite in terms of durability. No issues there. Make sure it's sealed well as it's in the colour tone that can show wetness if not fully sealed. It is getting hard to find though. You may have trouble securing slab.

      Jeremy, did you end up going with the Cyguns quartzite from Bedrosians? I just purchased 3 slabs today of the 3cm polished from Bedrosians in Orange, CA and really hoping it holds up well. It is labeled as a quartzite which is supposed to be as strong as granite....but then the sales slip states: Attention: soft quartzite. That made me question my decision. Beautiful slabs though.

      Loralie29, did you wind up with the Cygnus and how has it held up for you? We're seriously considering Cygnus for our kitchen counter. I'd like to get an honest feedback from someone who has this product. Very afraid of making a costly mistake. This is such a huge decision for us!

      I have the same question about the stone. Bedrosian has a couple of the slabs left and I'm considering them for bathroom counters. If anyone has already installed this, please comment on durability, stains, scratches, etc. thank you.

      It's like with any granite, as long as it's factory sealed, you shouldn't have any issues with some general level of care.

      It's a granite from Brazil. I put it in my kitchen and absolutely love it! No problems at all so far. LED under cabinet tape lights really make it pop and bring out the sparkle. My granite company told me they weren't able to find any more slabs when I was going to use it in my master bath as
