Appearance
Quartz can mimic the look of a natural stone, but the slight difference is that many quartz countertops have a speckled appearance from small individual stones that have been suspended in the resin.

While natural stone requires sealing, engineered stones do not. You can easily wipe down quartz with mild detergent and a soft cloth to keep it clean.
Quartz countertops are perhaps the most durable stone there is. They are heavier than some alternatives, and they are much harder to break than other stones once they’re installed.
Many different factors affect the price of quartz, including the manufacturer and various levels of design and colors. Quartz is typically used for smaller surfaces, and the average cost of this material ranges from $70 to $130 per square foot.
