Green Mountain Mist Quartzite is an excellent choice for interior and exterior applications. Because of its superior properties and performance, and rich texture, architects repeatedly specify this natural quartzite for interior flooring, exterior paving stone, stone treads and risers and stone wall cladding. Green Mountain Mist Quartzite is available in natural cleft and honed finishes.

quartzite

color

Medium gray-green with a reflective quality. Natural markings occur.

weathering characteristic

“Unfading”, meaning it will hold its basic color even after many years of exterior use.

Natural Cleft

Natural Cleft - a textured, natural finish, both visually and to the touch. Achieved by splitting the stone along its cleave with a hammer and chisel.

Honed - an extremely smooth, eggshell finish. Achieved with the use of fine diamonds. Green Mountain Mist's appearance ranges widely in a honed finish.
