Material: Quartz. How It's Made: Quartz countertops are man-made engineered stone countertops formed by combining 90% ground quartz (a natural hard mineral) with 8-10% resins, polymers, and pigments. This forms a very hard granite-like surface.

Major Brands: Italian company Breton owns the patent to manufacture solid surfaces from quartz and resins.
