The journey of a natural stone slab, from its origin in the earth to its final installation in your home or project, is a fascinating process. At Terra Stone, we believe that understanding this journey enhances the appreciation for the unique beauty and enduring quality of materials like marble and quartzite. As a leading natural stone provider serving the Chicago area and shipping nationally, we are committed to sourcing only the finest stones from around the globe. This blog will explore the origins of our exquisite stones and the care we take in selecting each slab.
Our dedication to quality begins at the source. We work closely with quarries in regions renowned for their exceptional stone deposits, ensuring that we have access to the best materials. For example, our Brazilian quartzite comes from specific regions in Brazil, such as Minas Gerais, Espírito Santo, and Bahia. These areas are known for producing quartzite with unique characteristics, from soft, creamy tones to bold, dramatic colors and veining.
- We hand-select our Brazilian quartzite to guarantee that each slab is not only visually stunning but also meets our high standards for durability and performance.
- The geological history of these regions contributes to the distinctive patterns and color variations found in our stones.
Similarly, our Mediterranean marble is sourced from the historic quarries of the Mediterranean region. These areas have a long tradition of marble extraction, and our selection includes a variety of iconic stones that are famous for their beauty and elegance. From the classic white and gray of Carrara to the striking veining of Calacatta, our Mediterranean marble offers a timeless charm that elevates any space.
- We choose our marble based on its veining, color consistency, and structural integrity, ensuring that it meets the expectations of our discerning clientele.
- The quarries we work with are carefully chosen for their sustainable practices and commitment to quality.
