The use of natural stone has dramatically increased in recent years. It provides a natural and durable surface, which is especially appealing to homeowners, interior designers, architects, and contractors. Whether you are building a new home or remodeling, natural stone offers exquisite beauty and uniqueness, and adds value to your home. Here are some important factors to keep in mind when choosing natural stone for a project:

1. As a product of nature, no two natural stone pieces are alike. Samples of the different material may differ considerably from the actual slab.

2. Variations in color, textures, fissures, pit areas and veining are all natural occurrences in stone.
