        "text": "Quartz is an engineered surface made of crushed stone and resin, offering a non-porous finish that resists stains without routine sealing. Natural stone, such as granite or marble, provides unique, organic veining and exceptional heat resistance, but it is naturally porous. Granite and marble require periodic sealing to guard against oils and acidic liquids. If you prefer low-maintenance daily care, quartz is often the practical choice. If you want natural, one-of-a-kind stone patterns and are willing to maintain sealant schedules, granite or marble is ideal.",
