White Portuguese Quartz

White Portuguese Quartz Chippings

For a memorial that gleams in the sun, few stones match White Portuguese Quartz. These chippings have a brilliant, crystal-white, almost glass-like colour that looks genuinely striking on a bright day. Used as a blanket covering on graves and in memorial gardens, the white contrasts beautifully against black or dark-coloured granite headstones and surrounds. Some customers even sprinkle black or coloured recycled glass through them for an extra hit of contrast.

What White Portuguese Quartz is

This is natural quartz with an irregular, angular shape and a brilliant crystal-white colour. Crucially, unlike marble, it is not porous, which means it tends to retain its colour well when used outdoors rather than dulling or greening over time. The almost glass-like quality is what makes it sparkle in sunlight. It is available in two sizes, so you can match the stone to the look you want.

Where to use White Portuguese Quartz
