Brazilian Fossil

Über Brazilian Fossil

Fossil Quartzite, marketed as 'Brazilian Fossil' or 'Brazilian Fossil Quartzite', is a decorative quartzite from Brazil. It is also sold under the name 'Tortuga Quartzite'. The stone has a multicolour appearance combining beige, brown, green, gold, and grey tones, often with swirling or fossil-like patterns that give it its name. As a quartzite it is siliceous and therefore acid-resistant, hard-wearing, and suitable for both interior and exterior applications. No numerical technical data is available from the standard sources (DNSA or StoneContact) for this specific commercial name. SC source-3 (Fossil Quartzite, s23298) confirms identity as a Brazilian quartzite used for countertops, flooring, wall cladding, and pool coping.
