Surface Details

Surface: Harpia Crystal
Finish: polished
Overview: Harpia Crystal is a quartzite comprised of pure white quartz crystal with tones of black and red highlighted in the movement. This type of pure white quartz is crushed and used in the production of man-made quartz slabs. Its celestial backdrop gives the material a clean look and makes it versatile for use in a variety of designs. As a pure white quartz, it is translucent and can be backlit and used as an alternative to white onyx and is extremely hard. As an alternative to marble, its hard, resilient surface can be used for kitchen countertops without having the scratching and etching issues experienced with marble. Before the polishing process, an epoxy resin mixed with pure white, crushed quartz is used to fill small open voids that may be in a slab. An epoxy resin is also applied to the surface of the stone to fill in any natural pits that may exist. This does not affect the durability, maintenance or beauty of the stone. However, due to the amount of resin used to process Harpia Crystal, it cannot be stored outside or installed in any exterior application. Due to the qualities of the stone, the slabs are book-matched, meaning slab one and slab two will be cut and polished to create a mirror image of each other. These are then kept in sequence, which allows for a consistent flow in pattern. Finally, a mesh backing is adhered to the back of the stone to ensure safety while handling and fabricating the slab.
