The characteristics of quarried stone are many, and they are directly related to the attributes of the deposit from which the stone was extracted.  Each quarry is able to offer a range of products unique in dimensions, color, and structural properties to its deposit.

Monarch Stone International’s approach to the stone selection process, includes a collaboration with the architect,  designer and homeowner,  prior to and throughout – the design process.   Efforts made in early stages, will be critical to the final stone choice and ultimately save time and money.

We will be sharing our stone expertise on this subject, by creating an ongoing ‘Quarried Stone’  segment in our blog, discussing topics such as  stone color, consistency, why/how does it change, availability, suitability related to climate conditions, and more .

What questions  do you have? Check back as we share with you, our passion for stone!
