Natural Stone and Marble (Loose)

A collection of natural stone and marble from Turkey, Greece, North Africa and Asia. Unpolished natural quarried marble and stone. This is NOT reconstituted or cultured and therefore is crystalline in structure and hard to cut without the right tools please ask for advice if unsure of how to cut this material. The classic method of cutting marble is using a hammer and hardie but a wheeled nipper may also be used with good results however the wheels will wear out more quickly. The true colour is seen when polished, varnished, sealed or waxed. All stone is will weather naturally when exposed to the elements. To create a more polished finish use a stone sealant in either matt or gloss. Each tile is 20x20mm and just 4mm thick making them easier to cut and more versatile than standard marble tile. Although these tiles are thinner, remember they are natural stone and crystalline in structure so cutting precisely may take time to master, for best results use tool designed for stone, regular wheeled cutters may be used but the wheels will need changing more frequently. Always seal with bees wax or stone sealant BEFORE grouting as coloured grout may stain the tesserae.
