Granite is an igneous rock of volcanic origin and is composed of 30% quartz and 60% feldspar, which gives it a high-range in hardness. It is very resistant to wear and tear, with superior abrasion resistance and strength. It is available in a wide range of colors. Historically it used to be available only in a homogeneous grain. Now it is available in veined and patterned varieties. Granite is ideal for all types of interior and exterior use. (See color samples) |

Marble is a calcareous rock with a mid-range in its hardness, formed usually by fine grain crystals. This composition results in a mirror like polish finish, which is exceptional in stone. Marble is ideal for flooring, bathroom countertops, fireplace surrounds, and coffee tables. It is suitable for internal use only. (See color samples) |

Quartz surface (engineered stone) grows in clusters and does not form huge stone blocks; it is not suitable in its natural state to make into large slabs. The manufacturing process uses raw quartz crystals ranging in size from coarse grains to the size of rock salt. Once the quartz is ground and selected, the crystals (93%) are combined with bonding agents and color (7%), then heated and vibro-compacted to form an impenetrable surface. Quartz is extremely durable and it is ideal for all types of interior and exterior use.(See color samples) |

Travertine is a porous calcareous rock. Travertine varies in color from white to silver-grey, yellow, red, and dark brown. Travertine is suitable for a honed, polished or antiqued finish. Travertine is ideal for flooring, walls, and bathroom countertops. It is mainly used for internal applications; however, it can also be used externally in warm climates.(See color samples) |

Onyx is a calcareous material with a very fine, tight grain and many veins running concentrically to one another. This translucent stone is synonymous with luxury living and has been used to decorate the living spaces of the rich and famous. It takes a high polish, which is part of its great beauty. Onyx is ideal for decorative purposes.(See color samples) |

Limestone When the word `stone` is used in the context of slab dimensional stone, it usually refers to limestone, slate and other sedimentary rock. Generally, they are unpolished. Limestone is ideal for flooring and walls. It is suitable for internal use. (See color samples) |

Serpentine is a volcanic rock with a compressive strength similar to Granite. Generally it is a green color with lighter or darker shades, and it sometimes includes some shades or red. It is suitable both for external applications (depending on the particular stone) and for internal applications. Serpentine is ideal for decorative purposes.(See color samples) |

Semiprecious stone is now available in large format slabs. They are made from many beautiful stones including Quartz, Amethyst, Petrified Wood and Fossils. The slabs are 3cm (1 ΒΌ inch) thick, which make them very suitable further fabrication. Each slab is a unique work of art from nature. Semiprecious stone must not be placed close to intense heat, or any place where there is a sudden change in temperature. For decorative purposes and internal use only.(See color samples) |

Gemstone. Rare gemstones, such Lapis Lazuli, Malachite, Jasper and others are now available in large format slabs, which are 3cm thick. The gemstone veneer is hand selected from specimen pieces and comes with a white marble backing slab. These gemstone slabs create extraordinary bursts of color. Gemstones must not be placed close to intense heat, or anywhere where is a sudden change in temperature. For decorative purposes and internal use only. (See color samples) |
