We use several kinds of marble, granite, limestone, and sandstone for our surfaces. You can find our current standard offerings in the products section. We also cater to special orders and custom requirements.
Do certain stone varieties have a minimum thickness level?

How do you create these unique textures, depth, and patterns on natural stone?

Yes. We have plenty of patterns and textures which can be customized. We require a project brief, design intent, budget, etc. to be able to propose a custom solution.
Do you recommend certain patterns or stones for particular applications?
