I have quartz (Silestone brand) countertops in my home kitchen, with quartzite in the island. The quartz is more durable. I got it in a white with little flecks of silver and grey. Red wine? Comes out with a little bleach. Watching from acids such as lemons? Nope. The quartzite is beautiful, but I’m happy I got it in a honed finish. It definitely scratches more and gets etched with acid.
We are going to try concrete countertops in our next place.
