- The name is derived from the fact that it has the highest crystalline quartz content of any granite surface plate
- Even distribution of large quartz crystals provides a smooth finish, which significantly reduces wear on the surface plate and the instruments used on it
- Fine micro-finish, combined with the natural voids in the surface, prevents wringing and provides a velvety-smooth tool action
- Non-quartz-bearing granite in average daily use requires resurfacing about once a year, while crystal Pink® plates used in these same plants have required resurfacing only once every three to five years, on average
- Great surface hardness and wear resistance - the highest percentage of quartz crystals of any granite plate
- Smooth, jewel-like quartz bearing points protect accuracy and finish of both the surface and the tools used on it
- Quality and economy combined
- Comparable to black granite plates while outwearing them as much as 5 to 1
- Standard-size plates are mounted on resilient support pads, providing isolation from normal vibration and a non-distorting 3-point suspension
- Packed one per crate with skids for forklift handling
