Natural Granite Stone Samples
Natural Granite
offers an unparalleled variety of colors and patterns to decorate
your home. Its most common application is for kitchen counters,
followed by vanities and fireplace surrounds.
Granite is mined from the earth, in many countries, most commonly
in South America, Africa, Asia and the Middle East. A purely natural
product, the quarried blocks are cut into slabs and the facia polished,
before being shipped via container to fabricators throughout the
world. As an experienced importer, Artelyes’ representatives
hand-select individual blocks at the quarry, and then inspect each
slab as it comes out of the container for quality control. All material
purchased is first choice, free of defects and superior in its coloring
and patterning, known as “movement”.
Choosing a color may be the most difficult or enjoyable part of
the design process, depending on your personal tastes! We stock
around 40 colors and over 2000 slabs at any one time. Each slab
is hand inspected for color, veining and structural integrity. There
are many colors, in a wide palette of whites, greys, earth tones,
gold & yellows, reds, greens, blues and blacks.
The beauty of Granite is that each piece is a unique work of art
produced by nature, so hand selection, is essential to fully appreciate
the shading, color variations and textures that will be part of
your countertop.
Granite offers pure luxury combined with the most scratch resistant,
heat-resistant, easily maintained surface available. For further
