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.

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