Why Do Natural Stone Prices Vary? Understanding Our Global Sourcing
At Granite Connection, we pride ourselves on sourcing only the finest natural stone for your countertops and projects. Much of the premium granite, marble, and quartzite we offer comes from two of the world's top natural stone producers:
India and Brazil.
Why India and Brazil?
Both countries are renowned for their vast quarries and exceptional quality stones:
- India is famous for its durable granites and unique marbles, offering a wide variety of colors and finishes.
- Brazil is known for its exotic and vibrant stones, such as quartzite and granite, prized for their striking patterns and beauty.
What This Means for You?
Because
these materials are sourced internationally, several factors can influence the final price and delivery times of your countertops:
- Import Costs: Shipping heavy stone slabs halfway across the world involves significant logistics costs, including freight, customs fees, and handling.
- Supply Chain Delays: Global events, increased demand, and extended shipping routes have lengthened import times, meaning longer lead times for your order.
- Quality Assurance: We carefully select each slab to ensure you get the best natural stone, which sometimes requires additional time and care during import.
We appreciate your patience and understanding as we work to deliver
