From quarry to shipment: how we work

Every order goes through the same six steps. The goal is simple: the slab you approved is the slab that goes into the crate.

Wire-saw block cutting at a marble quarry in Turkey — 1. Quarry and block selection: the quarry is chosen to match the colour and veining your project needs.

Calacatta-type white marble block at a quarry yard — 2. Block inspection: colour, veining and crack checks start at block stage.

Marble slab warehouse with bundles on wooden A-frames — 3. Cutting and stock: blocks are gang-sawn into slabs, polished and stored in bundles.

White marble slab on an A-frame during quality inspection — 4. Slab-by-slab inspection: numbered photos and video for your approval.

Crated marble slabs and tiles in a stone factory before shipment — 5. Crating: ISPM 15 heat-treated timber crates, protective spacers and strapping.

Forklift loading marble crates onto a truck for export — 6. Loading and documents: container or truck loading, invoice, packing list, origin documents.

Marble collection: slabs in stock

The photos below show real slabs from stock; the codes on the red labels are bundle numbers. Colour and veining vary from slab to slab in natural stone, so numbered photos of the bundle you choose are sent before you order. A dedicated page is being prepared for each material; ask for current stock and sizes.

Blocks, slabs and cut to sizeThe same stone is available as blocks, 2 cm or 3 cm slabs, or cut to size for your project (30×60, 60×60, 60×120 cm and custom sizes). Cut-to-size production comes with calibrated thickness and chamfered edges as standard.

Surface finishes: polished, honed, brushed, sandblasted

Polished Calacatta Amber marble slab, close-up of the vein pattern — A polished finish shows the veining best; honed surfaces are preferred in wet and high-traffic areas.

The finish defines both the look and where the stone can be used. The same slab can be ordered with a different surface:

Polished: glossy and deep; shows colour and veining at their strongest. Interior floors, countertops, walls.
Honed: matt, silky surface; lower slip risk in wet areas and hides marks. Bathrooms, hotel corridors, kitchen worktops.
Brushed / leathered: lightly textured matt surface that hides wear.
Sandblasted: rough, slip-resistant surface; exteriors, pool surrounds and stairs.
Tumbled / antiqued: rounded edges and a rustic texture; mostly as cut-to-size tiles.

Selection grades and quality control

Selection (grading) classifies slabs from the same quarry by colour consistency and veining. Most of the price difference between offers comes from here.

First selection (A): consistent colour, controlled veining, no or minimal cracks and filling.
Second selection (B): variable tone and vein density; price advantage, preferred for large areas.
Commercial selection: mixed tones; back-of-house areas, technical rooms and budget projects.
Calibration and reinforcement: slabs are cut to calibrated thickness; fragile stones such as breccias and onyx are mesh-backed and epoxy-filled on the face.
Approval process: bundle photo, numbered slab photos and video on request; crating only after approval. Consecutive slabs are numbered for book-matching.

Technical data and test standards

Slab properties vary by material; the values below are general ranges for our stock slabs. Exact sizes and thickness are stated in the quotation.

Thickness	2 cm standard; 3 cm on request (countertops and stairs)
Slab size	Typically 240 to 320 cm long and 140 to 200 cm high, depending on material and block
Finish	Polished, honed, brushed, sandblasted, tumbled
Cut to size	30×60, 60×60, 60×120 cm and project-specific sizes; calibrated thickness
Edge work	Straight cut, chamfer; profiles on request
Packing	Wooden bundles or crates, ISPM 15 heat-treated timber, strapping

Natural stone test standards: what the reports contain

In Europe, marble slabs and tiles are assessed under the product standards EN 12058 (floors and stairs), EN 1469 (cladding) and EN 12057 (modular tiles). These standards call for the following tests:

Test	Standard	What it tells you
Apparent density and open porosity	EN 1936	How dense the stone is; low porosity means fewer stains and higher strength
Water absorption at atmospheric pressure	EN 13755	Suitability for wet areas and exteriors
Flexural strength	EN 12372	Load-bearing and breakage resistance; critical for countertops and stairs
Compressive strength	EN 1926	Floors and load-bearing applications
Frost resistance	EN 12371	Facades and cold climates
Abrasion resistance	EN 14157	Floors with heavy foot traffic
Slip resistance	EN 14231	Safety on wet and dry floors; depends on the finish
Petrographic examination	EN 12407	Mineral composition and correct classification of the stone

We offer natural stones tested in an accredited laboratory, with test reports available. Report scope varies by material; the document set required for EU projects is confirmed at quotation stage.

Density, water absorption and strength values determine where a stone can be used. Academic studies on the Menderes Massif marbles (Bağcı et al., 2010; Yavuz, Türk and Koca, 2002) document the physical and mechanical properties of Turkish marbles, and Stone in Architecture, edited by Siegesmund and Snethlage, is the reference work on the durability of natural stone in buildings. According to the Turkish Ministry of Energy and Natural Resources, Turkey holds roughly 40% of the world's natural stone reserves, and in 2025 its main export markets for natural stone were the USA, China, India, Saudi Arabia and Iraq (sources at the end of the page).

What is the minimum order quantity?

It depends on the material and stock situation; from stock you can start with a single bundle, and for new cutting the quantity is stated in the quotation.

Yes. Numbered photos of the bundle you choose, and video on request, are sent before you order; the same slabs are crated after approval. Meetings are possible at our office in Istanbul.

Polished or honed: which should I choose?

Polished for gloss and strong veining; honed for wet areas, heavy traffic and lower staining concerns. The same slab can be finished either way.

What does selection grade mean?

Slabs are graded by colour consistency and veining: first selection (A), second selection (B) and commercial selection. Most of the price difference comes from the grade.

Do you supply book-matched slabs?

Yes. Consecutive slabs cut from the same block are numbered and reserved for book-matching, then crated after photo approval.
