Durability
One of the main reasons to buy quartz countertops is since they are very durable. If you’re looking for a material that is resistant to cracks, scratchs, or get chipped easily, quartz is a good choice.

Quartz does not form in nature as a slab surface. its in crystal form. These crystals are then made smaller and put together with a polymer to form the slabs for your kitchen
Also, much advancements in the design process to mimic the looks of natural stone.
On Mohs scale of mineral hardness, which geologists use to measure the hardness and scratch-resistance of minerals from 1 (soft) to 10 (hard), most quartz is rated 7 out of 10. For contrast, diamonds are rated 10, and marbles are typically rated between 3 and 5.
Just because quartz is durable doesn’t mean it’s invincible. You can scratch or chip quartz but, due to its composition, the chances of damage occurring from regular, everyday use are minimal.
