(high in magnesium). Marble is composed primarily of calcium carbonate/calcite minerals. They can range from very fine grained to coarsely granular and can be found in every color imaginable.

3 Stone Descriptions GRANITE: An igneous stone formed from the cooling and crystallization of molten magma far below the earth s silicate mineral crystals which form over thousands the dimensional stones and exhibits an extremely high polish for a very long time and resists a wide range of chemicals. It is ideal for use in commercial and residential applications as well as interior or exterior work. Granite Uses: Flooring, Countertops, Entries, Granite Project Uses: Monuments, Exterior/Interior Cladding (wall facing), Landscaping, MARBLE: A metamorphic stone derived from limestone or dolostone (high in magnesium). Marble is composed primarily of calcium carbonate/calcite minerals. They can range from very fine grained to coarsely granular and can be found in every color imaginable. Marbles are relatively softer than granites and may exhibit sensitivity to acidic liquids and some household cleaners. Marble Uses: Interior Entries, Interior Walls, Tops. Marble Project Uses: Monuments (see climate restrictions)** Exterior/Interior Cladding (depending QUARTZITE: A metamorphic stone derived from silica sand and is the most chemically stable of all the dimensional stones. They are extremely resistant to chemical weathering and are ideally suited for exterior or interior applications. Quartzite is a very dense, hard, non-permeable stone and will generally have a very consistent coloration with a glassy appearance. Quartzite Uses: Countertops, Entries, Fireplace Quartzite Project Uses: Monuments, Exterior/Interior Cladding (wall Flooring.

4 Stone Descriptions LIMESTONE: A sedimentary stone made up of calcium carbonate/calcite minerals. It is formed on the ocean floor when marine organisms extract calcium carbonate from sea water and from corals, shells and skeletons. As these structures accumulate on the ocean floor they become consolidated to form limestone. This is why we often find evidence of shells and fossils in limestone. Limestone is widely used in commercial and residential applications. Limestone Uses: Interior Walls, Flooring, Countertops, Exterior applications (see climate restrictions)** SLATE: A metamorphic stone formed from the consolidation of very small particles of weathered or eroded granite deposited in layers on ancient lake bottoms. It is therefore, made up of silicate minerals and is resistant to a wide range of chemicals. It exhibits a very wide range of colors and lends a rustic or contemporary design depending on the application. Slate Uses: Interior Walls, Flooring, Countertops, Exterior Applications (see climate restrictions)** ONYX: A dense crystalline form of lime carbonate usually deposited from cold water solutions, such as in caves deep in the earth s crust. As these solutions drop from the cave roof they form structures, such as stalactites and stalagmites, which exhibit growth rings seen in the translucent onyx. Onyx has an elegant look and can be found in a spectacular array of colors. Onyx can be back lit in windows, vanity tops and cabinet fronts for a dramatic look. Onyx Uses: Alternative to glass used Finishes and Table Tops. (see climate restrictions)** **CLIMATE RESTRICTIONS: Natural Stone can be used in exterior projects, and in a variety climates which have very high humidity and freeze/ thaw conditions. In cold climates where moistures can penetrate stone and freeze, it will then expand and slowly erode or crack the stone. More permeable stone should be carefully sealed and moisture prevented from penetrating the stone. It is always best to use a stone that has very low permeability in these environments. Look and Feel of Finishes POLISHED: A smooth high-gloss finish, attained by machinery processing the stone surface through a series of buffing techniques. HONED: A finish with a look of satin, attained by machinery processing the stone surface through a series of buffing techniques. A honed surface provides a flat, matte or satin finish creating a more informal and softer look. This finish is created by stopping short of the last stage of polishing. A honed finish shows fewer scratches, and requires very little maintenance. LEATHER: Leather finish begins with a honed surface worked with diamond brushes; the process brings back the color and closes pores, making the stone denser. Leathering has a nice sheen and is less porous than a honed finish. BRUSHED/ANTIQUED: A finish with the look of satin, and a feel of undulation to the touch. A brushed finish features a worn-down look achieved by machinery brushing the surface of the stone, simulating natural wear over time.

Stone Descriptions SANDBLAST: Sandblasting is a finish created by very high pressure air and sand, directed at the face of the stone to create a textured surface.

The mixture of polished and sandblasting gives any project a contrasting look, without changing stone colors. FLAMED: A finish that is rougher to the touch with a feel of granularity.

This process is usually done with granite material.

5 Stone Descriptions SANDBLAST: Sandblasting is a finish created by very high pressure air and sand, directed at the face of the stone to create a textured surface. Sandblasting lightens the color of the stone significantly to provide contrast against a polished finish, providing excellent slip resistance. The mixture of polished and sandblasting gives any project a contrasting look, without changing stone colors. FLAMED: A finish that is rougher to the touch with a feel of granularity. A flamed finish is achieved by heating the surface of the stone to extreme temperatures, followed by rapid cooling. The stones surface will pop and chip leaving a rough, unrefined texture. This process is usually done with granite material. Flamed granite has a highly textured surface, making it ideal for areas where slip resistance might be a concern, like shower areas, exterior/interior walkways, and stairs. Enclave Interiors Project - Texas NATURAL CLEFT: Slate is created as layer upon layer of silt particles are deposited on a lake bottom, creating a layered structure referred to as clefted. This clefting gives a three dimensional texture to the slate and its durability depends on the degree of metamorphosis (heat and pressure) it is exposed to. The denser and harder the slate, the less prone it is to spalling or flaking of the surface material. NATURAL STONE EXTRACTION: If a natural look is needed in block format, Alliance Minerals can maintain the natural look of the extracted block without finishing any of the stone. For example a stone bathtub may need polishing for the bathing area, but the exterior portion of the vessel can maintain its natural look. Custom finishes are available. ALLIANCE MINERALS NATURAL STONE DISCLAIMER Each piece of quarried stone is a one of a kind unique creation of nature and is naturally characterized by an infinite variety of color, crystal structure, fissures and pits. Alliance Minerals attempts to maximize the beauty, consistency and life of a stone some fissures may develop into cracks, regardless of daily uses and care and due to factors we cannot control.
