THE STORY BEHIND THE STONE
-
Granite
An igneous rock of volcanic origin, granite is one of the hardest natural stones. During its formation, mineral gases and liquids create crystalline formations, giving it a stunning array of colors. -
Marble
Marble is a metamorphic rock found in mountains around the world. It comprises recrystallized minerals and swirls of hidden impurities. These beautiful natural variances give marble its signature warmth and sophistication. -
Travertine
Travertine is a porous calcareous rock that forms when natural mineral water percolates through limestone and recrystallizes. Its earthy texture and warm hues give it a distressed but modern look. -
Limestone
Formed from the bonding of mineral fragments and organic materials in the earth’s bedrock, Limestone mainly comprises calcium carbonate, which gives it its signature array of natural colors and streaking. -
Quartzite
Quartzite is a metamorphic rock formed from sandstone. The extreme heat and pressurization in its formation leads to the recrystallization of minerals, making extremely strong and flecked with natural patterning. -
Quartz
Manufactured from one of the hardest crystalline minerals, quartz is renowned for its durability and color. Formation is proud to be the only stocking distributor of Caeserstone® quartz in the Coachella Valley. -
Porcelain
Fired at higher temperatures than ceramic tile, porcelain tile comprises up to fifty percent feldspar, making it denser and less porous than other tile. It is stronger than granite and resists staining. -
