Natural Stone:

- Granite - the undisputed king of countertop materials is a hard crystalline stone mostly containing quartz, alkali feldspar, and plagioclase feldspar. Many other trace minerals are present which account for the many beautiful colors found all over the world. An igneous stone (volcanic) the slow cooling process of this stone accounts for its hardness, durability, and beauty which no man could ever possible duplicate. Granite is long lasting, easy to clean and maintain, and repairable in the hands of a professional. Uses include but are not limited to flooring, kitchen countertops, vanity tops, and outside building materials.

- Marble is metamorphose limestone (calcium carbonate) which is created by heat and pressure over time. Pure marble is white while trace minerals of hematite adds reddish color, limonite adds yellow color, and serpentine adds green color. Marble is used for its strength and beauty to add a prestigious elegance to anything it is made into. Uses include fountains, statues, fireplace surrounds, countertops, vanity tops, and flooring. Marble being softer than granite is less durable but easier to repair and restore in the hands of a professional.

- Travertine is another form of limestone usually having pores, cavities, and holes. While holes and pores can be filled sometimes unfilled travertine can have an aesthetic appeal. Many travertine's can have fossils and seashells in them. Travertine is mainly used on floors, vanity tops, kitchen backsplashes, and fireplace surrounds.
