Sourcing

Where our granite comes from

Every monument starts as a block of granite. Ours comes from PS Granite, the quarry in India, run by Parthi and Sathya - the husband and wife whose initials are the P and the S. Mark knows them personally. He met the owner in India, and the owner invited him to the quarry.

The quarry in India

The quarry in India

PS Granite is the quarry. The stone we use is quarried by the same people who supply it - there is no middleman between the quarry and your monument. The area they live in is where the quarries are. It is rough country, and it is the heart of the black granite quarry.

Why black and green

Why black and green, and nothing else

Mark uses black and green, and nothing else. Other suppliers have been known to put dye in granite - the black a family buys turns gray five years later. Mark refuses to use anything from those sources. The jet black granite he uses only comes out of India.

Jet Black

Quarried in India. The jet black granite Mark uses only comes out of India - the heart of the black granite quarry.

Jet Black is the most expensive stone, but because Mark knows Parthi really well, they can buy the "Bentley" for the price of a "Honda".

Colors on screen are approximate. Natural granite varies from block to block, and that variation is part of its beauty.
