Is Fantasy Brown a good choice for the kitchen?

Fantasy Brown Countertops are a good option for kitchen countertops. They are very durable and also affordable. Fantasy Brown is a soft quartzite natural stone, which makes it a good choice for kitchen countertops.

They are popular with customers who want a marble look but don't want the soft etching characteristics of most white marble products.


Fantasy Brown is a very neutral countertop that looks good with white cabinets, wood cabinets, and a variety of different natural wood tones.

Is Fantasy Brown Durable?

Overall, because of its quartz content, it's sometimes called a combo stone. Fantasy Brown will be quite durable. It won't be as long-lasting as a real granite worktop, but it won't suffer from etching or damage like marble ones do.
The durability of each slab will be determined by the individual piece. Those slabs that have a lot of calcium carbonate in them will feel and perform similarly to marble, while those with more quartz will feel and behave more like quartzite.

Caring For Fantasy Brown Granite

Fantasy Brown requires particular attention because of its marble-like qualities. It can etch and stain, so seal the surfaces at least twice a year to avoid this.

Spills and splatters should be promptly dealt with. To protect the surface, use cutting boards and trivets. Finally, avoid dragging heavy things across the surface since this can scratch it.
Although the name is somewhat misleading, Fantasy Brown Granite is a lovely natural stone that may be used in any room. It will look good for many years to come if properly cared for.

Is Fantasy Brown a Granite?

Is Fantasy Brown Granite a real granite? The answer is in fact no. Fantasy Brown consists of calcium carbonate, which is very similar to marble geologically. It's also linked to quartzite, a natural metamorphic rock that's formed from quartz sandstone.

The heat and pressure below the surface of the earth changed this sandstone to quartzite. Both marble and quartzite are metamorphic stones, but granite is an igneous rock.

The name of this stone, however, is a little perplexing. It's made up of high amounts of calcium, and it's, therefore, has a hard marble-like appearance. Because of its extreme hardness and resistance to stains and etching, the stone is more quartzite than marble-like in nature.
Many in stone manufacturing, on the other hand, consider Fantasy Brown to be quartzite because of the aforementioned characteristics. The rivalry between these two minerals has produced a distinct geological birth that is quite unique and is called "Fantasy Brown."

Another way to describe the relationship between Fantasy Brown and its mineral content is through density. It's made up of both quartzite and calcite minerals. Calcite is a softer mineral, whereas quartzite is a more durable one.

The durability of Fantasy Brown is determined by the proportion or percentage of quartzite and calcite. If quartzite is dominant, longevity is considerably enhanced.

Is Fantasy Brown, Granite, Marble, or Quartz?

To reduce misunderstandings about Fantasy Brown, the minerals present in the slabs or pieces are categorized and distinguished based on their mineral content and durability.

Each piece should be evaluated based on its performance outcome, not simply by looking at it. It may perform and look like true quartzite or granite, but it has the mineral composition of marble.
Because there are so many different minerals in these different types of Fantasy Brown, there will be variances in their hardness and long-term sturdiness.

The truth of the matter is that all three stones, regardless of their geological categories such as marble, quartzite, or even granite, will be revealed in how they endure and withstand normal usage over time.
