Compare Zodiaq® to other materials
Strong. Nonporous. Luxurious.
Zodiaq®, which is 93% quartz crystals, provides unique aesthetics that suggest a sense of enlightened luxury and an attitude of bold sophistication. Unlike natural stones, most colors of Zodiaq® are NSF/ANSI Standard 51 Certified for food contact.
Why quartz?
Quartz is extremely hard, with unusual depth, clarity and radiance. This gives it rich aesthetics, extraordinary strength and durability. Found in the ground, in sand, in rocks -in nearly every geological environment around the world, quartz is a crystal with many facets in its original form, giving it a radiance similar to that of diamonds.
