Question:

Would you recommend using quartz for a kitchen counter top?

I am planning to remodel my kitchen and am considering using quartz for the counter top. What are you experiences with using quartz? What are the pros and cons?

Answer:

Quartz Melting Temperature
It has a lower melting point. Here is the order: Olivine Pyroxene Amphibole Biotite Potassium Feldspars Muscovite mica Quartz I'm not sure how to explain it so I found a site that would help you
Well, Christians seem to think that the government can create a force-field or something that keeps him out of the schools and other places. Either that, or he has no power over a piece of legislation. Amazing huh?
Quartz has the lowest melt point of the silicates and therefore is the last to solidify out of the melt sand the first to melt when heated. The why is a lengthy explaination outside the scope of most mineralogy classes. eries for the minerals in between Olivine and quartz.
