All 74 questions
Which colours and varieties are available?

Our range covers Indian classics and exotics: Brown Fantasy, Black Galaxy, Panda White, Lily Black, Titanium Gold and Aravali Green Onyx among more than sixty shades. See the product pages for what we typically supply, or send us the colour you need and we will source it.

How does natural stone compare with quartz, tile and laminate?

A quick buying guide. Granite and quartzite tick the most boxes; marble and onyx trade toughness for veining and glow; sandstone belongs outdoors. Engineered quartz, ceramic tile and laminate are not natural, and quartz can scorch under hot pans and yellow in sunlight.

Is everything on the website in stock?

Natural stone stock changes constantly as blocks are sold and new ones are quarried. Product pages show what we typically supply. For live availability, ask for our current stock list with block IDs, photos and measurements.

Can I get samples?

Yes. We send polished samples for colour and finish approval, taken from the lot you would be buying from, not from a showroom board.
