We hope you enjoy browsing through our many pages of slabs.
Please note: We do not offer slabbing, cutting, or polishing services. Nor do we sell tile.
Most slabs on our website are not polished and are photographed wet to better show how they will look when polished.
Peach Aventurine An unusual color makes for a fun & affordable new material to try cutting. This is an easy material to cut...it will cut quickly and polish nicely without too much effort. So as summer fades, keep the memory of those sweet peaches alive with this wonderful peachy material. |
