NATURAL STONE EXPORTER-BHANDARI MARBLE GROUP

We house the beauty of natural stone. The most underwhelming aspect of a house is the flooring. It determines how vibrant and comfortable your home is. Natural stone has different characteristics that make it stand out from other materials. Some people prefer using tiles that provide a better visual act than longevity, while others look for strength in the flooring material rather than being merely eye candy.
It is advised by various architects to use natural stones instead of artificial flooring to get the benefit of magnificence and stability.
Bhandari Marble Group is the leading exporter of all kinds of natural stones. Here we are presenting some most common natural stone which we regularly export to our clients.

 KOTA STONE 

Kota stones are fine-grained naturally available limestone. Quarried at Kota district of Rajasthan, India, it is one of the most preferred building stone for exteriors, driveways, pathways, corridors, balconies, etc. It also finds its application in flooring of chemical industries for its inertness towards a large number of chemicals. These stones are available in different finishes (Smooth and rough) and in wide variety of earthy colors with brown being the most popular. It’s also available in Black, Beige, Grey and Pink. It outstand other stones in similar applications for its homogeneity, hardness and non-porous properties.

 Kota Stone Slabs 

The slab should be of desired quality, hard, dense, homogeneous and free from any cracks, decay, weathering, etc. It could be either hand or machine cut for the required thickness. The exposed face of slab should be polished before being placed at site and also the contractor shall get the slab sample approved by the concerned Engineer.

 Advantages and Disadvantages of Using Kota Stones

 Advantages 

Kota Stones have wide application in exterior works for its non-porous, non-absorbent, tough and homogenous properties and is an excellent building stones for both humid and freezing regions.
Availability of the stones in slab and tile form makes it convenient to achieve different pattern of flooring.
It gives rich aesthetics to both interior and exterior flooring and is cheaper than other stones used in similar application.

 Disadvantages 

Unlike granite or marble Kota stone slabs are not available in bigger sizes. This is because of its fragile nature.
On a longer run Kota stones flake out. However if well maintained and polished regularly the flaking of stones can be intercepted to a greater extent.

 SLATE AND LIMESTONE 

Slate and limestone also have water in common, at least when it comes to their formation. Slate is found in the ocean; likewise, limestone is found anywhere an ancient sea existed and can even be comprised entirely of marine fossils. Limestone’s are sedimentary rocks that form from the layering of silt and organic matter over time. The pressure and heat from the accumulation of layers results in chemical reactions that harden the sediments into solid stone.
Limestone certainly has many faces, but it finds a spot in our hearts for its uses in indoor and outdoor, commercial and residential applications. Its muted tones, whether polished or honed, are fit for bathrooms, fireplace facings and mantles, countertops, and flooring. Limestone is very porous, so it doesn’t turn aside stains as easily as some other natural stones; therefore, when it comes to countertops and flooring, it must be finished and sealed properly or placed in areas that are less active. Limestone slabs and tiles are also suited for landscaping applications in patios and walkways. They are especially eye-catching when defining garden borders, as both a salute to nature and a nod to limestone’s nutritional pedigree.

 Dependability 

Compared to many other building materials, limestone touts dependability like no other. This characteristic can be demonstrated through the detailing of its use throughout history. Although it may not be a well-known fact, limestone has been used as a building and surfacing material for centuries.

 Versatility 

Limestone can be used on its own in panels for flooring or other surfacing purposes. Additionally, while it is considered to be extremely durable, as touched on above, it can still be crushed to be used in cement for use in buildings and other structures.

 Cost Effectiveness 

Limestone is shaping up to be a top contender on the list of possibilities. Not to mention we aren’t even done covering its advantages!

 Where Is Limestone Best Used? 

As touched on above in explaining its advantages, limestone is an extremely versatile material. It can be utilized in a number of different ways and circumstances. It can be used in and of itself in the form of panels for flooring, walls, etc. It can also be crushed and used in cement for use in buildings and structures. Additionally, it can be shaped to make decorative elements to be place within your home or business. As you can tell, limestone is extremely versatile and thus able to be used in a number of different circumstances. Hopefully you’ve been able to determine where and how you would utilize it depending on your need!

The addition of natural stone in your outdoor living space is a simple one that can be both functional and beautiful. Pebbles and cobbles are a great way to achieve these benefits and prove that small additions can go a long way toward giving your space a polished look.

 Where can be Pebbles Applied? 

Pebbles can be applied in a number of ways for an immediate improvement to the overall look of a design. Around patios or walkways, they can create a border that restrains weed growth. They can help to regulate the soil from temperature extremes as well as prevent the washout of tender plants, shrubs and trees or even erosion of slopes and hills by creating a protective barrier or ring to control the rate of water absorption into the soil.

 Pebbles Are The Natural Beauty 

Pebbles are an inexpensive way to highlight foliage, add personality to a water feature, or lend a splash color where it is needed to liven up an older hardscape. Pebbles create a finished look – in plant containers, raised gardens, and borders, they are an attractive, natural addition with genuine authenticity. Bhandari Marble Group offers polished pebbles in an assortment of colors and sizes for a refined look.

 What are the Cobbles? 

Cobbles are a charming way to create useable walkways and paths. As a winding surface through a vegetable garden, a pretty border, or as a little patio for your fire pit, cobbles are an easy way to add a defined space that will keep weeds at bay and give you a clean surface to walk on! Best of all, they are typically set in sand or crushed stone, which means they can expand and contract with temperature variations and, unlike a piece of concrete, won’t crack as they move.

 Cobbles the Perfect Stone for House Inner & Outer Beauty 

Changing the look and functionality of your outdoor living space is easy with just a few little upgrades. Pebbles and cobble stones are indeed little in size, but they pack a big punch when it comes to livening up your landscape. They will enrich the environment by introducing a natural stone that will blend into its surroundings with casual grace– granite cobbles or sandstone, MSI offers a variety of shapes and finishes to fit your style.

MARBLE THE EXTRAORDINARY BEAUTY OF NATURE

You’re facing the same conundrum that so many marble-loving home owners have wrestled with: you love marble, but is it really worth the care and maintenance to keep it looking beautiful year after year?

Compared to other natural stones like granite and quartzite, marble is a relatively soft stone. It can etch if spills aren’t cleaned up right away, and it naturally develops a patina, or change in color due to oxidation, over time. This is one of the reasons manufacturers are developing engineered surfaces that resemble marble—some people simply don’t want to stress out every time a dinner guest puts their wine glass down without a coaster. But if you’re in love with the classic look of marble, there’s simply no alternative quite as beautiful as the real thing.

We’re here to put your mind at ease, and give you 5 solid reasons why you should make the commitment to a real marble countertop.

It can be sealed to add stain protection.

One of the main concerns that homeowners have about choosing real marble for kitchen countertops is that will stain. While marble can be more susceptible to stains or etches from acidic foods and beverages (such as red wine and tomato sauce), there are precautions that can be taken to help avoid this. Your countertop fabricator can ward off stains by applying an impregnating sealer that fills the pores just below the stone’s surface to slow the absorption of liquids, allowing more time to clean up spills. Today’s sealers are highly effective at preventing staining, without altering the look of the stone itself.

While no sealer can prevent etching, which is a dulling of the stone when it comes into contact with acidic materials, a high quality sealer can go a long way in shielding your new marble from stains for years, or even decades. Ask your fabricator if they offer a multi-year stain warranty to help put your mind at ease.

2. Honed marble is just as gorgeous as polished, and you won’t have to worry about etching nearly as much.
Honed marble has a more matte surface finish, meaning any dullness that may occur from a rogue lemon slice will be much less noticeable than it would be on a highly polished surface. Honed marble has a soft, satin finish rather than a glossy shine – a look that many home owners actually prefer.

3. Every slab is unique.

Some homeowners choose to install manufactured quartz countertops that look like marble products, which can be made to mimic natural stones like marble, believing that they will be easier to maintain. While an engineered material might be lower maintenance than marble, it will never have the same depth, unique patterns, and range of colors as natural stone.

Plus, when you install a true marble countertop or vanity, you have the opportunity to select a 100% unique slab. No other kitchen will have the exact same veining and characteristics that you have in yours.

4. Marble is naturally heat resistant.

If you’re a baker, you’ll be happy to learn that marble is one of the most heat resistant stones out there, and is much more heat resistant than a common competitor – resin-based engineered quartz. This quality makes marble a popular choice for fireplace surrounds as well as counters, islands, and vanities.

5. Natural stone increases the value of your home.

Stone countertops will increase the value of your home and appeal to potential buyers, if and when you’re ready to sell. Updated countertops made of natural stone are aesthetically beautiful, and show that you’ve invested and cared for your home.

Still on the fence?

Talk to your countertop fabricator before you make a final decision. Most will be more than happy to give you a sample of the marble color you’re eyeing so you can take it home for a field test. Pour some lemonade on it, leave a coffee ring, drop a tomato slice – put your sample to the test to see how it reacts. Better yet, try a sample of both polished and honed marble to see the difference in performance.

Every home owner should take their time to make sure they’re choosing a material that’s perfect for both their lifestyle and aesthetic. A Natural Stone Institute Accredited fabricator would be happy to answer any questions you might have about marble or any other stone material so you can feel confident in your final decision.

Anyone who’s ever watched Fredrik Eklund ooh and aah over a slab of it on Million Dollar Listing knows that Carrara Marble Obsession is a real thing. For almost a decade now, we’ve seen all kinds of kitchen countertops—Formica, laminate, granite—enthusiastically ripped up and replaced by the shiny white stone with subtle gray veining. But lately, interior designers are looking beyond the ubiquitous material and its siblings, Statuary and Calcatta Gold.

“While there’s nothing wrong with these marbles per se, there’s a tremendous breadth of expressive varieties out there that can add a significant amount of dynamism and personality to your project if you’re willing to think outside the box,” says Kevin Greenberg, founder of Space Exploration.

COUTERTOP THE BEAUTIFUL SPACE OF EVERY KITCHEN LET'S HAVE A LOOK

While you can choose a countertop material based on its looks, there are plenty of other factors to consider as well. Think about whether or not it's important for your countertops to be stain resistant and durable. Do you care if the material is humanmade or would you prefer for it to be entirely natural? Are you worried about scratching and cracking?

Our countertops are likely one of the most used features in your home, even if it doesn't always feel like it. If you love to cook, your kitchen countertops certainly see a lot of use—from chopping and cleaning to withstanding heat and regular wear. Similarly, in the bathroom, your countertops need to be able to withstand daily use and should be easy to clean. That's why it's important to get all of the facts before deciding to make an upgrade to this vital part of your home.

These are all questions to ask yourself before you take the plunge and renovate your home's countertops. Ahead, learn more about the seven best countertop materials, according to interior designers. From marble and quartz to soapstone and linoleum, there's something for everyone's design tastes and practical needs.

The limitless beauty of Marble Countertops 

Perhaps the most coveted kitchen and bathroom countertop material, marble is one of your best options, according to interior designers Nina Freudenberger and Jennifer Wallenstein. "I love the way marble looks," Freudenberger says. "I find it to be the most upscale, most beautiful, and varied of all the options," the designer continues.

Wallenstein agrees, noting that while the material offers a classic look, the natural stone is quite porous and will stain over time, especially if it's exposed to citrus fruits or wine. However, Freudenberger points out that this natural wear can be a good thing. "I embrace, rather than fight it," she says. "Over time, it really develops this beautiful patina that just gets better as it is used."

The extraordinary class of quartz countertops 

Although quartz is a popular countertop material, both Freudenberger and Wallenstein offer pros and cons for this one. It's great for utility and is incredibly durable and stain-resistant; however, quartz is an engineered product, meaning it's humanmade, rather than naturally occurring.

"Beware that not all quartz is created equal," Wallenstein says. While some look almost indistinguishable from natural stones, others can turn out more like a pixelated print, the designer warns.

Soapstone Countertops the prefect choice for each kitchen 

"I am crazy about the texture and feel of soapstone," Wallenstein admits. She notes that both elements exist because of naturally occurring talc (a clay mineral) found in the stone. "It's extremely durable and holds up well to stains and heat," the designer adds. The only downside of choosing this material is that it can darken over time.

Linoleum Countertops

"I just did my kitchen in Malibu with linoleum, and I think this is a really interesting material," Freudenberger shares. The material was big in the 70s, and it appears to be making a comeback (and for good reason). The designer notes that linoleum is not only an affordable pick, but it's also an extremely hygienic natural material. "I'm finding it a little sensitive to scratching, but I think choosing a lighter color would help with this," she suggests.

Types of Granite

Granite is a natural stone and the most popular igneous rock. Many people recognize and successfully identify granite because it’s commonly used for building objects for everyday use.

Granite Definition

Granite is a light-colored igneous rock, coarse-grained. This natural stone consists mainly of quartz and feldspars with some amounts of amphibole minerals and mica. It is harder than marble and has visible grains. People from granite industry who fabricate, sell and purchase cut stone slabs for further use call this natural stone simply ”granite”. The industry calls stones like basalt, gneiss, diabase, monzonite, gabbro, pegmatite, syenite, schist, anorthosite, granodiorite, diorite, and many other rocks, simply “granite.”

Types of Granite Use

Granite industry uses granite stone to create everyday objects like countertops, wall and floor tiles, paving stone, stair treads, curbing, and building veneer. When they quarry granite from the Earth, they cut it into slabs or blocks. These granite slabs and blocks need to have a specific width, thickness, and length. Granite industry uses these slabs further for different purposes depending on these characteristics.

All types of granite are perfect for everyday use because they are heavy and strong, water resistant, wear and tear resistant, and durable. Countertops, floors, and walls made of different types of granite are also beautiful because this stone gets its full shine when polished. All these characteristics make all types of granite a highly desirable stone for multiple uses in both residential and commercial interior.

Types of Granite Colors

Types of granite colors determine minerals and rocks that make granite. Quartz, amphiboles, feldspar, potassium, and mica minerals give granite such unique colors and patterns. Different types of granite colors depend on the concentration of these minerals in the stone.

For example, quartz gives granite mainly milky white color, feldspar provides an off-white shade, biotite gives dark brown or black color, amphibole dark green or black, muscovite – yellow or metallic gold, and unique salmon pink color comes from the abundance of potassium feldspar mineral. The combinations of these minerals give us different types of granite colors – white granite, black granite, black and white, pink granite, red granite, blue granite, and green granite.

Types of Granite Colors

White for Classic and Fresh Look

White granite primarily contains milky white quartz and opaque white feldspar minerals. No white granite is perfectly white like man-made stones. Actually, if you see a countertop that is 100% white, be sure that it’s not granite but more likely quartz. White granite countertops are true works of art that will have many shades, veinings, and spots of different coloration. Most often, you will see an abundance of small black amphibole grains.

Out of all types of granite, white granite is the truest classic. Its unique, timeless beauty holds great currency in interior design. An elegant, fresh, and classic look of white granite countertops easily incorporates and complements both residential and commercial interior projects. Whether gray-flecked, black-spotted, ivory-threaded or slightly bluish, the ageless material of white granite countertops transports centuries of natural processes into our homes and offices.

Quartzite vs Granite

Both Quartzite and Granite are natural stones and both are great choices for your project. Learn their differences to choose the one that is right for you.

Cost 

If it is pure, quartzite is more expensive than granite.

Looks

It is difficult to see the difference between granite and quartzite as both have mineral quartz in their origin. However, they formed in different ways. Quartzite is commonly found in lighter colors and patterns that resemble marble.

Durability

quartzite and granite are equally durable and require the same level of maintenance. Both are more durable and require less maintenance than marble.

Straight Edge Granite Type

These edges feature a slightly rounded design. They are best for simple and clean, contemporary countertop designs and interiors. This type of edge will easily blend with the kitchen and won’t steal attention from your beautiful granite kitchen top.

Eased Edge Type

This type of granite edge is the most popular. It is not too rounded but it is also not too sharp. This edge is basically a 90-degree square edge that is slightly eased. This type of granite edge adds the thickest look to the granite countertop. It is easy to clean and doesn’t hold spillages that so often happen in a kitchen.

Beveled Edge Granite Type

If you want to achieve a sleek, elegant, and modern look in your kitchen, choose this type of granite edge. Beveled edge features a 45-degree angle clipped flat corner. Your granite fabricator will be able to customize the angle and the width of the bevel edge to meet your needs. Because of its simple, flat design, beveled granite edge is also easy to clean and maintain.

Ogee Edge

This is a classic looking granite edge, perfect for traditional kitchen designs. There is a groove on a bottom that is rounded. Ogee edge can feature a simple, subtle line, or a deeper, more visible and dramatic curve. If you want to make a statement with the edge, that Ogee Edge is perfect for you. Just keep in mind that it would steal too much of attention in a smaller kitchen space. Its curves also take more effort to maintain and keep clean.

Bullnose Edge Type

It features rounded look ideal for sophisticated traditional kitchen and bath decors. Pick this edge type if you want your granite countertop to appear thinner and classic. If you want an ease of maintenance, this is the best of all types of granite edges for you. Keeping it in pristine condition is easy.

Waterfall Granite Edge Type

It is rounded and features clean and sleek look, perfect for modern, contemporary designs. This edge looks like there is almost no edge at all. That is why its name is Waterfall. It seems like granite flows over the countertop without a stopping point. This is also one of the safest granite edges you can choose.

MARBLE GRANITE AND NATURAL STONE UNDER ONE ROOF-BY BHANDARI MARBLE GROUP

Natural stone is a versatile material that can be used in many places throughout the home. Commonly used for kitchen countertops, stone is also a great choice for fireplaces, bathroom vanities, cladding, flooring, outdoor kitchens, and fire pits. Choosing the stone best suited to your project means you will enjoy your stone for many years. Spending some time considering your stone choice will allow you to select the stone that works best. Below we consider some factors to take into account, plus some common applications for the most popular stone choices.

GRANITE

Granite is an extremely hard, durable stone that is available in almost any color imaginable. Consistently popular as a low maintenance, high performance kitchen countertop material, it requires little aftercare if it is cleaned after use. Cleaning is simple with mild dish soap and water. In many cases, granite should be sealed using a quality sealer. Once properly sealed, granite will be even more resistant to everyday dirt and spills. Due to its durable nature, granite is suitable for many other applications, such as flooring, shower walls, fire pits, wall cladding, bathroom vanities, desks and tables.

MARBLE

Marble is an elegant, classic choice popular throughout the ages. While white marble is the most popular color choice, many other color options do exist. Marble is softer than granite, so it will stain, etch and scratch more easily. Commonly used for bathroom vanities, backsplashes, fireplaces and bar-top designs, it can also be used for kitchen countertops, but users need to be aware it will develop a patina a slight change in color or texture as it’s exposed to various elements over time as it wears with use. For this reason, it is not usually recommended for high-traffic kitchens.

QUARTZITE 

Quartzite is most often found in white and grey color
varieties, and can look similar in appearance to marble, but is harder than marble, making it an attractive alternative for kitchen countertops. Other popular applications include walls, flooring, and stair steps. Quartzite usually needs to be sealed when it’s installed, to help it resist stains. It should be cleaned regularly with a damp cloth and mild soap and any spills should be wiped up immediately.

SOAPSTONE 

Soapstone is a durable stone that is softer than granite and primarily composed of talc. Most commonly found in light grey hues, it can also have tones of blue or green. It is heat resistant, which makes it ideal for fireplaces. Soapstone lining in a fireplace can quickly absorb heat and remain warm for some time after the fire is out. It can also be used for kitchen countertops. Scratches can be easily repaired with ordinary sandpaper and mineral oil. Due to its non-porous nature and resistance to extreme temperatures, soapstone is a popular choice for outdoor kitchens.

ONYX

Onyx is easily identified due to its striking appearance, with alternating bands of color. It is most commonly used as a statement piece, and is often backlit, such as on bar-tops or a statement wall. It can also be used as a backsplash for kitchens and bathrooms, but is not usually recommended for countertops or high traffic areas due to its delicate nature. Onyx is a fragile stone that needs to be cared for to prevent scratching and etching. If it is used for countertops, it needs to be sealed properly and then cleaned with special stone cleaner at frequent intervals to help prevent scratching and staining.

Both gneiss and granite are made of feldspars, quartz, mica, and smaller amounts of dark colored minerals like hornblende. Both have tightly interlocking minerals, so they are minimally porous. On paper, they have similar properties and can be used in the same ways.

The difference between granite and gneiss is in their overall texture and movement. Granite is evenly speckled. It formed from liquid magma that cooled and crystallized. Granite is like rocky road ice cream a solidified conglomeration of different ingredients.

Gneiss, arguably, is more visually interesting. It’s characterized by stripes, linear bands, or flowy rivers of color. This pattern is called foliation and it’s a result of the rock being squeezed and heated. Gneiss is like ribbon candy

– it’s been folded and swirled while hot, and then left to harden. The stone captures the expressiveness and movement that come from its dynamic origins.
The striped, wavy look of gneiss comes from extreme amounts of compression. The random orientation of minerals you see in granite is an inefficient use of space, sort of like the ragtag pile of magazines you left next to the couch. Those magazines take up less space if you stack them all the same way, right? This principle applies to minerals too. They align themselves in the same direction when they get buried a few miles deep and pressed between colliding continents.

If the pressure on the stone is evenly distributed, you get straight or gently flowing stripes, like Agatha Black or Viscount White. If the compression involves folding or twisting, as it often does in geologic crumple zones, then you get a stone with wavy or ribbonlike texture. Amadeus and Black Forest are examples of gneisses with dynamic textures.

Just like you and me, gneiss comes from its parents
All metamorphic rocks have a parent rock, which is a rather sweet way of describing what the stone was before it encountered the heat and pressure that transformed it into a metamorphic rock. The parent rock of gneiss can be granite, but it can also be shale or an impure sandstone meaning it contains more than just pure quartz sand.
Previous articles have described the continuum of metamorphism as a stone is exposed to increasingly torturous heating and compression. Shale becomes slate, then phyllite, then schist, then gneiss. Each of these steps is gradual, as the stone slowly changes in response to the conditions it experiences.

Regardless of its geologic parent rock, gneiss is near the end of the metamorphic road. Heat it further and it begins to melt. When it starts to melt, it doesn’t do so at once. The mineral quartz will melt first. Another delicious food analogy applies here. The beginning of the melting process is just like a chocolate chip cookie left in a warm car. The chocolate chips will melt long before the rest of the cookie does. In gneiss, you can often see fluid-looking pockets of quartz that were melted while the rest of the rock remained solid. A gneiss that was partway melted is called migmatite, which means mixed rock. Part metamorphic, part igneous. Examples of migmatite are Titanium, Cosmic Black, and Tropical Black.

The geologic basement

Gneiss is one of the most common rocks on Earth’s surface. It forms the basement rocks that are below most land masses. These basement rocks are over a billion years old and, just like the basement of your house, they are the foundation for the layers above. Newer stones pile up on top of the basement. But sometimes those newer layers get scraped away by erosion, and the older layers get heaved upward by mountain building. Behold, the basement sticks out at the surface. I like how gneiss offers a glimpse of what went on in the depths of Earth’s crust; the flowing swirls of color reveal how the whole rock was once fluid and bendable.

Gneiss Aesthetics

One of the fun things about natural stone is the huge range of aesthetics that are expressed in stone. Gneiss is no exception; it comes in many variations, and can appeal to many different styles and tastes. While all gneiss is striped or banded, the bands can be straight, gently wavy, or chaotic. The colors can be mostly dark, or mostly light. The stone can be black and white, or black and pink, or black and gold, or nearly any combination thereof. Interesting minerals like garnets dark pink, round specks or kyanite blue, elongated crystals can liven up the usual combo of minerals.

Note that a stone of a given name can have different patterns depending on which direction it is cut and which part of the quarry it is from. Viscount White, for example, can be serene or vivid. When shopping for gneiss, it’s helpful to select specific slabs to get the look you want.

Uses of gneiss

Gneiss is a terrific stone for many purposes. It tends to be blocky and dense, and makes robust dimension stone for buildings, walls, and landscaping. Gneiss is also a durable choice for interior uses, and makes a fantastic countertop or tile. The minerals in gneiss do not etch when exposed to normal household acids like vinegar or citrus. Take comfort in knowing that gneiss can withstand heavy use; it is made up of minerals in the 6-7 range on Mohs scale, meaning it’s harder than glass and about the same hardness as steel. It tends to be low in porosity, meaning it is not likely to stain, but there is some variability here, and some gneisses benefit from sealing.

There are two caveats when working with gneiss. One is that the linear grain in the stone can sometimes mean that the stone wants to split along those layers. This is not common, but worth considering if you have a large overhang. Try to minimize overhanging areas where the overhang is parallel with the natural grain of the stone. Or, if you do use the stone this way, be sure it’s well-supported underneath.

Second, keep an eye out for large areas of mica minerals, which are readily identified by their glittery look. In gneiss, mica minerals tend to form their own layers, which are likely weaker areas than the surrounding feldspar and quartz. Some of the dark colored gneisses have large amounts of biotite mica. Learn more in the article about schist.

All in all, gneiss is a durable, functional stone with a pleasing range of aesthetics. If you crave a rock-solid building stone or a countertop with flow and personality, check out a nice piece of gneiss.

Appearance

Choosing natural stone instead of a manmade product means that your design will be truly unique, because each slab of natural stone is different. When choosing your stone, be sure to visit stone yards to look at the actual slabs you’re going to use, rather than selecting from a sample. This allows you to see the color, veining, and movement that appears throughout the slab. Natural stone presents a huge range of color choices, so taking samples of other parts of your project, such as paint samples, cabinet doors, backsplash tiles, or faucets, can help narrow down the selection.

Purpose

It’s important to think about the space where the stone will be used. If it’s for a high-traffic area, such as a busy family kitc

hen, you may want to select a harder stone that is more resistant to abrasions. Softer stones require more frequent cleaning and care to prevent etching and scratching. For this reason, softer stones are often more suited to areas where the stone is not exposed to as much use, such as wall cladding, backsplashes and bathroom vanity tops. The amount of time you want to spend cleaning and caring for your stone should be considered as part of the selection process.

Commonly Used Stone Types

Conclusion

Using natural stone for a project presents an exciting array of choices. Ultimately, the choice of stone is down to personal preference, but the factors discussed above should be taken into consideration to help with the decision making process. Talking to an experienced stone professional about your vision and specific needs for your project is also recommended. For more information about caring for stone.
