Tumbled Quartz Waterline Tile

[poolremodelnewbie]

How will tumbled quartz hold up as a waterline tile? Its pool grade. Pool is salt. Will be used by kids. Don't want shedding of the material in the water. Also, you cant tell in the photo but it has sparkle in it. Will the sparkle disappear from the salt and chemicals? Im thinking it may only be on the top layer.Photo attached and link to manufacturers page for the tile. Also, what color grout would you use for it to not be obvious grouting (coping is ivory)?

I think you will have difficulty cleaning waterline scale from that stone.

To me a smooth porcelain tile is the best waterline surface and the easiest to care for.
