Ancient
as the earth itself; made from the very
same gas and liquid that solidified to
form the earth, natural stone brings grace
to many architectural wonders from the
dawn of civilization to the present day.
A wonder in itself, natural stone traces
its origins to heavy minerals pushed deep
to the core by the earth's crust when
gas and liquid cooled to form a solid
core. When the crust grew thicker, bearing
pressure upon the inner core, generated
heat from mineral vapors crystallized
into solid forms. As the earth's crust
began to grow and erode, it pushed minerals
up from its core, forming massive rock
deposits –the quarries we use today
to mine natural stone like granite and
marble. The entire journey took no less
than 100 million years!
Natural Stones are more
adaptive. Available in a large variety
of colors and patterns, natural stone
is practical and adds to the aesthetic
value of every part of a home - from the
roof, walls, flooring, furniture, even
the garden and exterior walls. It transforms
a four-walled house or apartment into
a comfortable home, into warm colors,
or a fusion of vibrant ones, infusing
warmth and creating a relaxing atmosphere
- creating a haven far from the strains
and stresses of the modern day world.

| Marble |
|
Marble
is a metamorphic rock resulting
from the metamorphism of limestone,
composed mostly of calcite (a crystalline
form of calcium carbonate, CaCO3).
It is extensively used for sculpture,
as a building material, and in many
other applications
Marble
for an air of luxury and permanent
beauty.

| Granite |
|
Granite
is a common and widely-occurring
type of intrusive, felsic, igneous
rock.Granites are usually a white
or buff color and are medium to
coarse grained, occasionally with
some individual crystals larger
than the groundmass forming a rock
known as porphyry. Granites can
be pink to dark gray or even black,
depending on their chemistry and
mineralogy.
Granite
for the most durable surfaces.

| Limestone |
|
Limestone,
is a sedimentary rock composed largely
of the mineral calcite (calcium
carbonate: CaCO3). Limestones often
contain variable amounts of silica
in the form of chert or flint, as
well as varying amounts of clay,
silt and sand as disseminations,
nodules, or layers within the rock.
Limestone
for its classic simplicity giving
a timeless natural look.

| Sandstone |
|
Sandstone
is a sedimentary rock composed mainly
of sand-size mineral or rock grains.
Most sandstone is composed of quartz
and/or feldspar because these are
the most common minerals in earth's
crust. Like sand, sandstone may
be any color, but the most common
colors are tan, brown, yellow, red,
gray, and white
Sandstone
for outdoors, indoors, patios and
poolside areas.
