Origin of
Natural Stone
Natural stone is a creation of
nature. Like so many natural
formations, every piece is
unique and matchless. Within
each piece of stone also lies
the history of one particular
place on our planet. Today’s
limestone floor for instance,
was once a mass of tiny sea
creatures, then an ancient
seabed, and after millions of
years of uplift, a mountainside
where the limestone was
discovered in our day.
Your natural stone was cut out
from a mountainside originally
in huge 50,000 pound blocks of
stone. The blocks were then
sliced into slabs which were
then refined to give its natural
colors a mirror like depth,
smooth soft surface or left
slightly rough to enhance its
rich natural texture.
The luster, hardness, colors and
variation are all indications of
the stone's mineral composition
and origin. This unique blend of
characteristics is what makes
your natural stone a
one-of-a-kind, beautiful yet
practical surface for your home.
