Step 1: The Vinegar Test (5-Minute Revelation)

• Genuine Quartzite: No reaction to acetic acid (pH 2.4)

• Marble Imposters: Immediate fizzing (calcite dissolution)

• Resin-Filled Granite: Cloudy residue (polymer degradation)

Industry Alert: 42% of "quartzite" sold online fails this test (Global Stone Watch, 2023)

Step 2: UV Light Forensics

• Authentic Quartzite: Fluoresces in distinct mineral-specific colors:

  • Blue Roma Quartzite: Cobalt blue (manganese)

  • Jungle Jewel: Emerald green (chromium)

• Dyed Stones: Uniform glow or dark patches

Step 3: Microscopic Verdict

Authentic quartzite exhibits:

• Polycrystalline Texture: Intergrown quartz grains

• Deformation Lamellae: Stress lines from metamorphism

• Mineral Inclusions: Garnet, kyanite, or rutile needles
