| We carry one
of the largest selections of granite and marble and have a variety
of products to meet a wide range of applications including floors,
table tops, kitchen tops, vanities, fireplaces or whatever your needs
may be.
Natural stone
is the best choice because it is one of the most durable products
you can buy. Granite is scratch resistant, heat resistant, as well
as stain resistant. Marble is very appealing because of it's high
sheen, unique veining and long lasting durability. All of our products
will retain their beauty and shine and have an existing and lustrous
look like no other product you can buy. No matter what your taste
or needs are, these natural products are available in a wide array
of colors from subtle to bold. The warm subtle earth tones work
well in a traditional or country style setting, while the bolder
shades make a luxurious and formal statement.

Travertine
Travertine is a chemical limestone formed in pools by the slow
precipitation of hot, mineral rich spring water. The voids,
pores and holes are created when gas bubbles get trapped as
the stone was being formed millions of years ago. Travertine
can be cut showing veins that run from side to side or cross
cut to give an abstract, cloud-like marking. The colors are
beige to dark chocolate with many exotic colors ranging from
rose, dark red to golden brown. |
Tumbled Marble
Tumble Marble is travertine, marble or limestone tiles that are
placed in a rotating drum with sand, pebbles and water, then tumbled
to produce aged, softened edges and surfaces.

Granite
Granite is an igneous rock, which means it was formed as it
cooled deep within the earth. The minerals in granite occur
in small amounts throughout the stone creating a textured crystalline
appearance. Many have veining and movement that are similar
in appearance to marble. Granite is a dense-grained, hard stone
that is usually highly polished or finished in a variety of
ways. We carry thermal (flamed) and polished. |

Limestone
Limestone is a sedimentary rock composed mainly of calcium carbonate.
Tiny pieces of shell, skeletons, plants etc. accumulated to
form rock beds. They were bonded through millions of years of
heat and pressure. Limestone ranges in color from almost white
to beige, rose, gold, dark green and even black. The texture
varies from fine even grain stone to smooth fossil-bearing types
and coarse open textures. The limestone family encompasses many
stones that can be polished and are frequently solid as marble. |

Marble
Marble is limestone that has achieved a metamorphosis from intense
pressure and high temperatures within the earth. This metamorphosis
altered the limestone crystalline structure and introduced other
minerals that produced the valuable colors and veining. |

Slate
Slate is a fine-grained metamorphic stone, derived from sedimentary
rock shale. Available in a multitude of shades; black, tones
of green, purple to rose, multi-colored, and pale gold. Slate
normally has a natural cleft surface but can also have a honed
finish, which is just as durable. |
Onyx
Onyx is a highly prized, beautiful translucent stone with pastel
colors and exquisite formulations. Onyx is a layered calcite stone.
It was formed in caves with stalagmite and stalactites from the
slow precipitation of cold waters and rich minerals.
Cobblestone
Cobblestone is a natural rounded dimensional stone, large enough
for the use in paving. Also, a term commonly used to describe paying
blocks.
Variety Of Finishes
There are also a variety of finishes that can be applied to many
different stones. Most granite will accept all of these finishes,
however only a few limestones can be thermally treated.
Bush-Hammered Flamed/Thermal
Honed
Polished Sandblasted
Saw-Cut
(Sawn)
Limits of Liability:
Natural quarried stones and slabs have inherent variations in color,
markings and physical properties. No two pieces are alike; some
have a wide variation and others are uniform. The pictures in this
website are useful only for general color guidance. Please choose
your material based on an actual sample of the product. We assume
no responsibility for any faulty installation of our products by
