Based in the heart of Dallas-Fort Worth, the company creates exquisite works in marble and onyx as dynamic and compelling as the pieces themselves. These natural stones are dug from the hearts of mountains and river belts from the beds of Arabian Sea just northwest of Indian Ocean all the way to the valleys of Himalayas. Several rounds of hand-sanding finish each piece with an integral glow, befitting a statement of grandeur for ages to come. This product is cut from natural stone and hand polished to perfection just like figure prints on our hands each stone product is natural and unique in its appearance and it will vary in color, tone, granularity, pattern, etc. These variations are expected and are one of the elements of its natural elegance.
