I have fabricated quartzite with both finishes. I've done a significant amount of Taj Mahal with a leather finish. I can assure you it is no more porous than the polished finish. Quartzite is such an incredibly dense stone that it's less prone to staining than other granites. Choose the finish you prefer with confidence and enjoy your new countertops.

The structure looked two-dimensional from a distance; almost like a ghost that will vanish if you turn away just for a moment.

I finally decided to do Taj Mahal leathered quartzite for the kitchen & bathrooms for my new house. I’m really excited, all slabs look great to me…

Previously Taj Mahal was the best tea, it came in vacuum sealed pack. But nowadays it tastes similar to red label or tata gold, and they've stopped vacuum pack as well

Taj Mahal, probably one of the few historical monuments which isn't underwhelming as compared to its pictures and videos. I saw it this morning for the first time, and am still in awe of this structure.
