MARBLE
Marble is a compact variety of metamorphosed limestone. It consists of calcite, dolomite, or a combination of both minerals, with a mid-range in its hardness, formed usually by fine grain crystals. This composition contributes to a mirror like polish finish, which is exceptional in stone. It is suitable for internal use.

GRANITE
Granite is an igneous rock of volcanic origin and is composed of 30% quartz and 60% feldspar, which give it a high range in hardness. It is resistant to high wear and tear, with superior abrasion resistance and compressive strength. It is available in a wide range of colors. Historically is used to be available only in a homogeneous grain, now it is available in veined and patterned varieties. Granite is an excellent material for internal and external building use because of its hardness and resistant to all types of weather.

TRAVERTINE
Travertine is a porous calcareous rock, which is deposited in layered formations by hot and cold spring waters. Travertine may vary in color from white to silver-gray, to yellow, red, and dark brown. Easy to work: the surface is suitable for a honed, polished or antiqued finish. It is mainly used for internal applications; however it can also be used externally in warm climates.

ONYX
Onyx is a calcareous material with a very fine, tight grain and 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.

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 rarely polished. They are suitable for internal use, and in block format are used in external applications.

QUARTZITE
Quartzite has the same physical-mechanical features as granite. It has high-range hardness, and is often used in similar external applications to granite depending on the particular type. It is suitable for internal applications.

SLATE
Slate is a dense fine-grained, fissile rock, formed by the metamorphism of shale or clay, or more rarely of igneous rocks. Slate is a hard and compact and does not undergo appreciable weathering. Slate is commonly bluish-black or gray-black in color, but red, green, purple, and variegated varieties are known. Slate is used for floors, roofs, baseboards, stair treads, paving stones. It is widely used for structural and industrial purposes.

TUFA
Tufa is porous, crystalline mineral form of calcium carbonate; it is mainly used to line interior walls. In some countries it is used in building facades to provide weather insulation, as well as its convenience in carving monumental artwork. Not recommended for flooring.
