Marble, slate, stone and granite are increasing in popularity for enhancement of the home and the buyer should understand their inherent qualities and variations.

Because these materials are natural products they often vary considerably from one piece to another in colour and the pattern of their veining. In addition, most natural stone materials contain coloured veins and vents which occur organically in the material as it is formed over millions of years. These range from hairline openings in some varieties to extensive brecciation in others and these qualities should not be regarded in any way as defects.

Aphrodite Marble Fire Place All marble or stone products supplied by us will have these inherent qualities which reflect the natural beauty and uniqueness of each piece.
