The stone's blue color comes from the presence of mineral impurities, such as iron and other trace elements, that were present during the stone's formation. The distinctive veining is also a result of the stone's metamorphic history, as the rock was subjected to high temperatures and pressures over time.
Paradise Blue Quartzite is a popular choice for countertops, flooring, wall cladding, and other interior and exterior applications due to its unique appearance and durability. It is also sometimes referred to as "Paradise Blue Granite" or simply "Paradise Blue."
