The invention relates to an artificial quartz stone and a preparation method thereof. The quartz stone is composed of the main raw materials of, by mass: 3-10% of aqueous resin, a curing agent with a mass accounting for 5-200% of that of the aqueous resin, 55-65% of quartz sand, glass sand and mirror glass sand, 25-35% of quartz powder, a coupling agent with a mass accounting for 0.05-0.2% of the total mass of quartz sand, glass san, mirror glass sand, and quartz powder, and 1% of a color paste. The preparation method comprises the steps that: the raw materials are fetched according to mass percentages; the curing agent, the coupling agent, and the color paste are added into aqueous resin, and the mixture is uniformly dispersed; the mixture is mixed with already uniformly mixed quartz sand, glass sand and mirror glass sand; the mixture is well mixed; quartz powder is added; the mixture is well mixed by stirring, such that a half-dry material is obtained; the material is distributed by using a mold; and vacuuming, molding, curing, thickness setting, and polishing are carried out, such that a finished product is obtained. According to the invention, aqueous resin and a water solvent are used for replacing oleiferous resin and an organic solvent, such that the harm to the environment caused by evaporation of the organic solvent is solved, viscosity is reduced, and manufacturability is improved.
