The visual and tactile appeal of marble naturally evokes creative inspiration. That's because its many colors, shapes, textures and sizes can be used in endless combinations. The result- myriad opportunities to grace an architectural or design project with a style not to be found anyplace else. The most beautiful homes, the most distinguished businesses, the most elegant gathering places, all are enhanced by the warmth and serenity of marble.
Creating true harmony in the home takes commitment and meticulous attention to detail, but the results are worth every effort.

Marble, Limestone, Travertine and onyx are organic stones. Chemically similar-all calcium based-they were formed directly or indirectly from material that was once living. Limestone is formed underwater from deposits of shells. Over millions of years, this residue builds up and compresses under its own mass and by geologic action. Most marble is compressed limestone. On dry land, groundwater passes through fields of limestone and collects calcium. Travertine is formed in hot springs of calcium-rich water that rapidly evaporates in shallow pools, gradually building up layers of solid calcite. Onyx forms from cold, calcium-rich water that slowly evaporates in underground caves.
Marble is the material of choice for builders and homeowners alike. Polished to a mirror like finish, it captures the beauty and brilliance of the natural stone. Marble, limestone and travertine are durable and have been used in building interiors and exteriors for thousands of years.
