Each stone is unique, with it's own colors and variations produced by Mother Nature and the transformation through time.

MARBLE

This metamorphic rock is comprised primarily of calcium carbonate and other minerals that create a wide variety of colors. Marble originates from a natural change from one type of stone to another through the mixture of heat, pressure and minerals. The change may be a development of a crystalline formation, a texture change, or a color change. The main consistency of marble is calcium and dolomite. Marble ranges in many colors and is usually heavily veined.

GRANITE

Igneous stones such as granite are mainly formed through volcanic material such as magma. Underneath the Earth's surface, liquid magma cooled and solidified. Mineral gases and liquids that penetrated into the stone created new crystalline formations of various colors. Primarily made of quartz, Feldspar and Potassium, granite is a very hard material, extremely durable and easier to maintain than marble, yet, it is still porous and will stain.

TRAVERTINE

Travertine is formed through the accumulation of calcite from hot springs. It contains lots of holes that were formed from sulphur bubbles eating away at the stone.

SLATE

A fine grained metamorphic stone originates from a natural change from one type of stone to another through a mixture of heat, pressure, minerals , formed from clay, sedimentary rock shale and sometimes quartz. The change may be a development of a crystalline formation, a texture change, or a color change.

LIMESTONE

Limestone is a sandy sedimentary rock formed closer to the earth's surface that captures fossilized plant, animal life, and organic elements such as glaciers, rivers, winds and oceans. This sedimentary pieces broke off from these elements and accumulated to form rock beds. They were bonded through millions of years of heat and pressure. Typically shows in more neutral tones.
