This is a question lots of our customers ask. The answer, however, varies from stone to stone. Natural stone comes from all around the world. But, there are a few countries that have developed strong quarry industries.

For many years, we at Marble & Granite, Inc. have searched high and low for top quality Azul Macaubus. We are pleased to announce that we have finally found ideal slabs of this exotic and highly sought after material in Brazil. With its striking mix of intense and ethereal blue shades, this material makes a distinctive design statement wherever it’s used.

Now that we’ve finally “sprung ahead” and the days are a bit longer, you’ve no doubt got warmer weather on your mind. Maybe you’re even thinking about some outdoor projects that will let you enjoy the open air more freely as the temperature rises. If so, you’re not alone. The outdoor living and landscape sector has grown into a $60-billion per year industry—and not just in the areas that are warm-year-round. No matter where you live, you can design a beautiful outdoor living space that will last— as long as you know which materials will stand the test of time.

The process of showing marble, granite and other natural stones to customers is extremely satisfying and full of excitement. Sales people absolutely love that expression and amazement when customers look at a slab and totally fall in love with it. And many of us often come across customers making comments like," This slab looks gorgeous. I wish I could hang this on my wall like a painting. I would not like to even cut it into a countertop". This is such an aesthetically satisfying statement which not only recognizes but also truly appriciates nature's beauty. Though all natural stones look beautiful yet there are some that you cannot resist saying "WOW".
