Fossilized shells and nearby minerals in the ground form limestone, and when the limestone gets subjected to high heat and pressure, it can turn into calcite over time. Each type of marble is unique \u2014 some have subtle veining, while others have distinctive and dramatic patterns. All, however, are primarily made of calcite.<\/p>\n<div class=\"gb-grid-wrapper gb-grid-wrapper-a8dbb69c\">\n<div class=\"gb-grid-column gb-grid-column-8c4e9e52\">\n<div class=\"gb-container gb-container-8c4e9e52\">\n<figure class=\"gb-block-image gb-block-image-3f0cbe23\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"500\" class=\"gb-image gb-image-3f0cbe23 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=\" http:=\"\" alt=\"marble\" title=\"marble\" data-lazy-data-sizes=\"auto\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/d7fcfvvxwoz9e.cloudfront.net\/dom43635\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/marble-kitchen.png 800w, https:\/\/d7fcfvvxwoz9e.cloudfront.net\/dom43635\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/marble-kitchen-300x188.png 300w, https:\/\/d7fcfvvxwoz9e.cloudfront.net\/dom43635\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/marble-kitchen-768x480.png 768w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/d7fcfvvxwoz9e.cloudfront.net\/dom43635\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/marble-kitchen.png\"\/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"500\" class=\"gb-image gb-image-3f0cbe23 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/d7fcfvvxwoz9e.cloudfront.net\/dom43635\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/marble-kitchen.png\" alt=\"marble\" title=\"marble\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/d7fcfvvxwoz9e.cloudfront.net\/dom43635\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/marble-kitchen.png 800w, https:\/\/d7fcfvvxwoz9e.cloudfront.net\/dom43635\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/marble-kitchen-300x188.png 300w, https:\/\/d7fcfvvxwoz9e.cloudfront.net\/dom43635\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/marble-kitchen-768x480.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\"\/><\/noscript><figcaption class=\"gb-headline gb-headline-526c3700 gb-headline-text\">Image Credit: Canva<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"gb-grid-column gb-grid-column-62be54e4\">\n<div class=\"gb-container gb-container-62be54e4\">\n<p>With natural beauty comes some vulnerability. Like many natural stones, marble is porous on a microscopic level. That means spilled liquids could stain the countertop and stay behind even after you wipe the surface. The calcite can also etch on contact with acidic food like lemons, tomatoes, and vinegar.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Marble can show signs of wear within just a few months, so if you have a marble countertop, it\u2019s important to follow a diligent maintenance routine. Regular sealing fills the pores in the marble to control stains, but the sealants wear down from exposure to cleaners. If your kitchen is heavily-used, you might be better off considering another option.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-quartz-in-the-kitchen\">All About Quartz Countertops<\/h2>\n<p>Quartz countertops have become popular as a low-maintenance alternative to natural stone. They contain over 90% ground quartz, one of the hardest materials used in home construction, along with resins and pigments. Unlike marble, quartz countertops are not porous, and they can stand up better to stains, scratches, and etching without requiring sealant. That makes them the better of the two options if you have a busy kitchen.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>In the past, one disadvantage of quartz countertops was that they lacked the natural variation of marble. These days, manufacturers can create surfaces that closely mimic the look of marble veining or natural stone.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"gb-block-image gb-block-image-8eb35bab\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"500\" class=\"gb-image gb-image-8eb35bab lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=\" http:=\"\" alt=\"Quartz\" title=\"Quartz\" data-lazy-data-sizes=\"auto\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/d7fcfvvxwoz9e.cloudfront.net\/dom43635\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/image-190.png 800w, https:\/\/d7fcfvvxwoz9e.cloudfront.net\/dom43635\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/image-190-300x188.png 300w, https:\/\/d7fcfvvxwoz9e.cloudfront.net\/dom43635\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/image-190-768x480.png 768w\" data-lazy-data-sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/d7fcfvvxwoz9e.cloudfront.net\/dom43635\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/image-190.png\"\/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"500\" class=\"gb-image gb-image-8eb35bab lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/d7fcfvvxwoz9e.cloudfront.net\/dom43635\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/image-190.png\" alt=\"Quartz\" title=\"Quartz\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/d7fcfvvxwoz9e.cloudfront.net\/dom43635\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/image-190.png 800w, https:\/\/d7fcfvvxwoz9e.cloudfront.net\/dom43635\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/image-190-300x188.png 300w, https:\/\/d7fcfvvxwoz9e.cloudfront.net\/dom43635\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/image-190-768x480.png 768w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\"\/><\/noscript><figcaption class=\"gb-headline gb-headline-1e8d2ac4 gb-headline-text\">Image Credit: Canva<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-comparing-quartz-and-marble-styles\">So, Which Countertop Is Best?<\/h2>\n<p>If you\u2019re deciding between a quartz or marble countertop, you\u2019ll want to consider three main factors \u2014 appearance, longevity, and cost. Some other minor factors can also help you make your decision.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Appearance<\/h3>\n<p>Little compares to marble\u2019s classic and random beauty. Most homeowners who choose it opt for a lighter white or gray, though you can also find it in more exotic hues. No matter which one you pick, it will age over time. Chips, cracks, and fractures can happen in the manufacturing process, and the surface may develop a patina over time due to etching and abrasions.<\/p>\n<p>Engineered quartz countertops may not have the same natural design, but you can find them in an extensive range of styles that replicate marble\u2019s randomness or have more visual consistency. Quartz can keep its glossy sheen for years, even under heavy usage.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Longevity<\/h3>\n<p>Marble\u2019s natural composition makes it prone to damage, but it can still provide years of beauty with proper sealing and gentle care. Quartz won\u2019t crack under heat, react with acidic foods, or absorb spills. With its natural hardness, it also resists scratches and etching better.<\/p>\n<p>Ultimately, your countertops\u2019 life span will depend on maintenance and use case. If you\u2019re constantly cooking, quartz countertops might be a better option than marble.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Installation Costs<\/h3>\n<p>The average cost of quartz and marble countertops are fairly comparable. According to Angi, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.angi.com\/articles\/how-much-do-marble-countertops-cost.htm\">marble<\/a> countertops cost about $3,000 for a 50-square-foot design, and engineered <a href=\"https:\/\/www.angi.com\/articles\/how-much-do-quartz-countertops-cost.htm\">quartz<\/a> costs about $4,500 for the same dimensions. Installation costs are generally similar, but marble can cost more if you need extensive seam-matching or special cutting.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Environmental Impact<\/h3>\n<p>If you\u2019re an eco-conscious homeowner, you\u2019ll probably also consider the environmental footprint of both types of countertops. Marble is a natural resource that requires quarrying, which can be energy-intensive. However, marble counters are also easier to recycle since it doesn\u2019t have resin content.<\/p>\n<p>Quartz is also a natural resource obtained by mining, but the manufacturing process uses materials more efficiently and can sometimes include recycled content. The resins used to manufacture quartz countertops are petroleum-based, which makes recycling difficult.<\/p>\n<div id=\"hm-faq-block_6e6d4181a16071f9a9d313daef49311d 1\" class=\"hm-faq hm-faq--two-column\">\n<h2 class=\"hm-faq__title \" data-toc-text=\"FAQs About Quartz and Marble Countertops\">FAQs About Quartz and Marble Countertops<\/h2>\n<div class=\"hm-faq__item\">\n<h3 class=\"faqQuestion accordion mb-0\">\n                        Does quartz stain as easily as marble?                    <\/h3>\n<div class=\"faqAnswer panel\">\n<p>No. Quartz\u2019s non-porous surface resists stains, while marble\u2019s pores allow liquids to seep in.
