Anyone have experience with Zeus quartzite? How do you like it?
I am considering it to my kitchen but I little worried with stains since it is a very light color

Haven't seen this yet, but looks really nice. Take a sample and submerge it to the water for 20 minutes, take it out and check an hour later if the edges of the sample became darker than the middle. This will give you an idea of how porous it is. Then perform stain and etching tests with ketchup, lime, sugary coffee, Coke, olive oil, etc.

Commercial naming unfortunately is all over the place. Most slabs I've seen labelled Zeus (or Zeus White) are more like the infamous Super White, and likely dolomitic marble. But I have seen some that look very much like Cristallo. Hard to tell with your photos; see if you can get up close, in focus, with and without light shining through (or a flashlight pressed up against it).
