Know Your Stone
Quartzitic Sandstone
Limestone
Granite
Quartzitic Sandstone
Colour
Three distinct colour blends – buff, brown, and grey – provide a natural, earthy palette that varies slightly, adding character to each stone.
Geological Background
Quartzitic sandstone is known for its dense structure and rich geological history. It was formed from sediments deposited on the ocean floor over 300 million years ago.
Mineral Composition
This stone is primarily made up of silica (quartz) and is known for its strength and durability.
Technical Benefits
With exceptional flexibility, compressive strength, and low water absorption, quarzitic sandstone is extremely durable and well-suited for various environments.
Recommended Applications
Its technical attributes make it well-suited for outdoor paving, landscaping, and high-traffic areas.
Good to Know
The buff and brown shades may display subtle tonal variations, enhancing the stone’s natural charm.
Limestone
Colour
Limestone is a deep, consistent black that creates a striking visual impact.
Geological Background
Limestone, formed from calcareous ocean sediments compacted over millions of years, showcases fine, nearly invisible crystals.
Mineral Composition
This stone mainly consists of calcium carbonate.
Technical Benefits
Limestone possesses extremely low water absorption, making it highly durable while still being easy to cut and calibrate. This combination makes it ideal for paving and masonry products like steps and copings.
Recommended Applications
Its natural bedding planes create a smooth but subtly textured split surface, ideal for domestic paving.
Good to Know
While limestone begins as a deep black, exposure to rain can cause it to fade over time as the calcium carbonate on the surface reacts with mild acids to form grey calcium chloride. Sealing the stone after installation can help slow this process.
Granite
Colour
Granite is available in various colours, with Rajasthan Black being a popular choice for its mottled black appearance.
Geological Background
Granite forms from the slow cooling of molten magma within the Earth’s crust, where slower cooling results in the formation of larger crystals. The various minerals in the original lava contribute to a diverse range of colours.
Mineral Composition
Granite primarily consists of quartz, which is typically white, and feldspar, which can appear white or pink. Other minerals contribute shades of pink, red, yellow, green, grey, and black.
Technical Benefits
Granite is exceptionally strong, has low water absorption, and lacks internal joints or bedding planes, making it extremely durable and uniform.
Recommended Applications
Thanks to its large, consistent blocks, granite is ideal for landscaping products such as paving, cladding, and setts. Its durability also makes it perfect for custom masonry, including seating, steps, and curbs.
Good to Know
Granite’s crystal structure enables a variety of surface textures. A shot-blast finish produces a lighter mottled grey-black hue, while a flamed and water-jet finish intensifies its deep black colour with a distinctive sparkle.
Basalt
Colour
Basalt is a very dark grey-to-black stone known for its consistent and uniform appearance. White quartz veins occasionally run through the surface, adding subtle detail.
Geological Background
Basalt is an igneous rock formed from volcanic magma that cools rapidly, resulting in a fine-grained texture with tiny crystals.
Mineral Composition
This stone typically contains about 50% silica (quartz), while iron and aluminium-rich minerals like pyroxene and amphibole contribute to its dark colour.
Technical Benefits
Basalt is extremely durable, exhibiting high strength and low water absorption, which makes it ideal for high-traffic areas.
Recommended Applications
Its natural formation frequently leads to smaller blocks or columnar shapes, making it suitable for setts and small element paving instead of large paving slabs.
Good to Know
While basalt’s colour is consistently dark, some variations may feature small holes or fissures formed during the cooling process, contributing to its natural character.
Schist
Colour
Schist is available in various colours, often featuring clearly defined layers of lighter and darker grey minerals.
Geological Background
Schist is a metamorphic rock formed when molten magma cools under directional pressure, resulting in distinct mineral bands.
Mineral Composition
Schist’s mineral composition resembles that of granite, as it often originates from igneous rocks found in mountainous regions.
Technical Benefits
Schist can be as strong as granite, although its strength varies based on whether it is cut along or across its natural planes.
Recommended Applications
Schist is perfect for projects where a varied appearance is key, making it suitable for cladding and paving.
Good to Know
The appearance of schist can change significantly based on how it is cut – cutting along the bands offers a more uniform look, while cutting across them highlights its natural variation. Due to its complexity, a careful assessment is recommended before use.
Slate
Colour
Slate is typically a consistent blue-grey material, though some varieties may have a subtle green tone within the grey.
Geological Background
Slate was formed from fine ocean floor particles that settled over millions of years. Later, they compacted into mudstone and were transformed by heat and pressure into slate.
Mineral Composition
Slate primarily consists of quartz and fine clay minerals, including iolite, biotite, and pyrite. Its metamorphic process arranges these minerals in linear planes, allowing for easy splitting.
Technical Benefits
Slate is strong, highly durable, and has low water absorption, which makes it suitable for demanding environments.
Recommended Applications
Its natural formation often leads to smaller blocks, making slate perfect for small-element paving or internal tiling, especially in residential settings.
Good to Know
Slate’s linear bedding planes create a naturally riven surface, while the edges are usually sawn. Thickness can vary because of its irregular beds, but calibration can provide a more consistent finish at an additional cost.
Marble
Colour
Marble is typically white, though some varieties feature subtle shades or colour variations, most commonly in grey tones.
Geological Background
Marble was initially formed from limestone that underwent extreme pressure over millions of years, causing its particles to reorganise into interlocking crystals.
Mineral Composition
This stone primarily consists of calcium carbonate (calcite), with occasional traces of dolomite and other minerals that produce natural colour variations.
Technical Benefits
Marble has a very low water absorption rate and provides good flexural and compressive strength. Its softer nature makes it ideal for carving and shaping into custom pieces.
Recommended Applications
Due to its technical properties, marble is ideal for interior flooring, wall cladding, and custom masonry.
Good to Know
While marble is durable, it may break if subjected to sudden impact. Additionally, it can become slippery when polished by heavy foot traffic, making it less suitable for outdoor paving.
