Brown

Baltic
Brown
Baltic Brown is quarried in a bedrock quarry in Kymi, Finland. The size
and color of each block is fairly consistent between shipments and
occassionally the slabs may contain some black biotite crystal spots.
The mineral composition of Baltic Brown is: 55% Potash feldspar, 25%
quartz, 11% plagioclase and 9% biotite and hornblende. During the
polishing process, an epoxy resin is applied to the surface of the
slabs to fill in any natural pits, cracks or fissures that may exist in
the stone. This does not affect the durability, maintenance or beauty
of the slab. It is possible for some of the more minute pits that are
too small to effectively hold the resin, to reopen during other
finishing stages. However, this will not detract from the overall
quality or appearance of the stone. |

Gold
Sunset Gold is quarred from a pit quarry in the Fujian Province, China.
This granite often has visibile oxidized iron spots and some veining
making this stone very unique. During the polishing process, an epoxy
resin is applied to the surface of the slabs to fill in any natural
pits, cracks or fissures that may exist in the stone. This does not
affect the durability, maintenance or beauty of the slab. It is
possible for some of the more minute pits that are too small to
effectively hold the resin, to reopen during other finishing stages.
However, this will not detract from the overall quality or appearance
of the stone.

Tan
Brown
Tan Brown is quarried in a bedrock quarry near the town of Karimnagar
in the state of Andhra Pardesh, India. The size of each block will be
fairly consistent between shipments, but the quartz in the stone will
vary at times. During the polishing process, an epoxy resin is applied
to the surface of the slabs to fill in any natural pits, cracks or
fissures that may exist in the stone. This does not affect the
durability, maintenance or beauty of the slab. It is possible for some
of the more minute pits that are too small to effectively hold the
resin, to reopen during other finishing stages. However, this will not
detract from the overall quality or appearance of the stone.

Butterfly
Verde Butterfly is quarried in Espirito Santo, Brazil. It is a granite
composed mainly of dark green, medium to large crystals. The white
quartz and sapphire will have some variation between shipments in this
stone. During the polishing process, an epoxy resin is applied to the
surface of the slabs to fill in any natural pits, cracks or fissures
that may exist in the stone. This does not affect the durability,
maintenance or beauty of the slab. It is possible for some of the more
minute pits that are too small to effectively hold the resin, to reopen
during other finishing stages. However, this will not detract from the
overall quality or appearance of the stone.

Verde
Ubatuba
Verde Ubatuba is quarried from a bedrock quarry in Espirito Santo,
Brazil. It is composed mainly of dark green medium-large crystals.
After the blocks are cut into slabs, oxidation starts to take place,
which produces the brown spots that may be visible in this stone.
During the polishing process, an epoxy resin is applied to the surface
of the slabs to fill in any natural pits, cracks or fissures that may
exist in the stone. This does not affect the durability, maintenance or
beauty of the slab. It is possible for some of the more minute pits
that are too small to effectively hold the resin, to reopen during
other finishing stages. However, this will not detract from the overall
quality or appearance of the stone.

Giallo
Santo
Giallo Santo is quarried from a bedrock quarry located in the northern
part of Espirito Santo, Brazil. It is one of the larger quarries,
producing more than one hundred truckloads per month. The structure is
fairly consistent on each shipment but may have some variation in
movement and veining. During the polishing process, an epoxy resin is
applied to the surface of the slab to fill in any natural pits, cracks
or fissures that may exist in the stone. This does not affect the
durability, maintenance or beauty of the slab. It is possible for some
of the more minute pits that are too small to effectively hold the
resin, to reopen during other finishing stages. However, this will not
detract from the overall quality or appearance of the stone. |

Impala
Black (Rustenburg D)
Impala Black is quarried from a bedrock quarry in Gauteng, South
Africa. It comes in two different tonalities: Rustenburg D, where the
concentration of ferromagnetica minerals (especially pyroxites) gives
it an intense and uniformly black color; and Rustenburg M, which is not
as dark as the Rustenburg D because of its relative abundance of
plagioclase. Because it is such a dense stone, and there
are minimal micro fissures and pitting, no resin is applied to the
surface.

Juparana
St. Ceclia
Juparana St. Cecilia is quarried from a bedrock quarry in Espirito
Santo, Brazil. It is composed mainly of rather deep yellow,
coarse-grain crystals that run from elongated to nearly void. It is
also possible to see yellow- brown crystals along with black biotite
crystals in the stone. During the polishing process, an epoxy resin is
applied to the surface of the slabs to fill in any natural pits, cracks
or fissures that may exist in the stone. This does not affect the
durability, maintenance or beauty of the slab. It is possible for some
of the more minute pits that are too small to effectively hold the
resin, to reopen during other finishing stages. However, this will not
detract from the overall quality or appearance of the stone.

Tropic
Brown
Tropic Brown is quarried from a boulder quarry in Najran, Saudi Arabia.
It is a homogeneous granite composed mainly of intense brown crystals
and a smaller amount of black biotite crystals. Although, it is common
to have some black biotite crystals as large as the size of a silver
dollar. During the polishing process, an epoxy resin is applied to the
surface of the slabs to fill in any natural pits, cracks or fissures
that may exist in the stone. This does not affect the durability,
maintenance or beauty of the slab. It is possible for some of the more
minute pits that are too small to effectively hold the resin, to reopen
during other finishing stages. However, this will not detract from the
overall quality or appearance of the stone.

Gold
Venetian Gold is quarried from a bedrock quarry in Espirito Santo,
Brazil. It is a granite with a ground mass composed mainly of medium to
coarse-grain yellow crystals that can, at times, appear in a light
brown tone. Some veining and movement is common in this granite and can
be expected from time to time. During the polishing process, an epoxy
resin is applied to the surface of the slabs to fill in any natural
pits, cracks or fissures that may exist in the stone. This does not
affect the durability, maintenance or beauty of the slab. It is
possible for some of the more minute pits that are too small to
