Indian Natural Stone - Diverse types of Indian Natural Stones are classified according to their mineral substance, the development of natural stone pattern and durability with good resistance to dressing, appearance, weight, fineness of grain and compactness and absorption.

Indian Natural Stones have precise distinctiveness such as capability to stand the destruction of time and weather, essential potency to bear strain, super-incumbent weight and beautiful color and general exterior.

Natural Stone Processing - The processing of natural stone starts at the quarries where a section of solid rock is found and blocks are separated from it with as little damage to the stone as possible. More intricate work can be carried out on profiling saws and planning, polishing machines and of course by hand.

The aim of using sophisticated methods and latest technology programs is to make Indian natural stones more internationally oriented and to solve the problems of quarrying and processing so that the material which is of high quality and needs little care could be more widely used in buildings and other construction works. The natural surfaced blocks are cut into pieces of varying thickness and sizes, as required. The surface is then given the required textures with different finishes.

Honed surfaces or polished surfaces of Indian natural stone are achieved by grinding the cut face with successively finer grades of abrasives. Sandstone and limestone are often available in honed finish. Marble and other harder limestone can be polished. To achieve the true color and pattern of natural stone, polished surface is the most popular among different types of stone surfaces as it does not change the nature of the stone.
