Quality Stones, Inc

Granite and Marble Supplier. Large blocks of granite are quarried from deep in the ground or from the side of a mountain. These quarries are located all over the world in countries such as India, Brazil, , Norway, Saudi Arabia and Finland. We import our stone directly from these countries.
Dynamite and huge Diamond saws are used to cut the blocks from the quarry
Blocks are transported from the quarry to the factory by truck or rail. Some blocks weigh as much as 25 tons!
At the processing factories, blocks are cut into slabs in this huge diamond saw, much like a giant bread slicer. It can take an entire day to cut one block.
Here is the block cut into slabs. A Block will yield approximately 45 to 50 - 1-1/4" slabs.
Each slab is then sanded, polished to bring out its unique color and pattern . Finished slabs are then packaged and shipped in shipping containers by ocean, rail and truck to our warehouse."
