Which material is better quartz or Granite?

Quartz is more expensive than most natural stones, why?

To make quartz slabs first it is quarried, then crushed, sized, sorted, molded into slabs,
heated, compressed under extreme pressure, cooled, polished and inspected

Bianco Romano Granite is an absolutely beautiful granite that has a similar look as compared to  some marbles. Make no mistake this is a true granite and will not etch or scratch as easily as a marble it just has a similar look. Bianco Romano has the characteristic swirled veining and coloration one might associate with a traditional marble.

Kashmir White granite is not a truly white, white color. It is more “off white” with wisps of a blue/gray running through it with very small, dark red mineral deposits that are only red if you look very closely. From any distance you might think the dark red mineral deposits are black, that is how dark the red is.
