During the processing of cutting and polishing, a large amount of stone dust will be generated. If these dusts contain quartz and other components, they may cause lung diseases such as silicosis after being inhaled by the human body.

The design of Calacatta Quartz is inspired by Carrara marble in Italy, but its production technology and process as a man-made quartz material originated in Italy and Spain. These two countries pioneered the research and production of man-made quartz in the mid-20th century.
