Quartzite is a natural metamorphic rock that forms from sandstone under intense heat and pressure. Quartzite is one of the hardest natural stones available, scoring around 7 on the Mohs scale of mineral hardness, which measures the scratch resistance of minerals. Marble is widely used in the Middle East for its elegance and beauty. Natural stones are commonly used for flooring in both residential and commercial buildings. West Asian building stones are known for their durability, allowing them to withstand harsh weather conditions and long-term use. West Asia is home to various types of marble, each with its own unique characteristics. Travertine is formed over thousands of years as water flows through limestone and carries dissolved minerals to the surface.
