Lejoe la tlhaho le ka aroloa ka litsela tse tharo: Igneous, Sedimentary le Metamorphic.

Igneous rocks are the result of magma or lava solidifying and cooling, either beneath the earth’s surface or ejected from volcanoes and left to cool above-ground. Granite is the most common form of igneous stone but other kinds include basalt, dunite, rhyolite and gabbro.

Sedimentary rocks form through a combination of fragments from other rocks, along with the remains of plants, animals and other organic materials. These materials accumulate in deserts, oceans and lakes before they are compressed into their final form by the weight of the earth above them. Limestone is the most common sedimentary rock with siltstone, dolomite and shale comprising other variations.

Metamorphic rocks previously existed as igneous or sedimentary stones and were then transformed due to heat and pressure applied through exposure to magma, the weight of earth above them when buried deep underground, or a combination of both. Marble is the most famous stone of the metamorphic variety and quartzite, soapstone, gneiss and jade, among others, round out this fascinating category.

Now that the slabs are cut to the correct size and have the desired finish, the final stage in a natural stone’s journey into your home takes place at the fabricator’s facility. Here, the stone slabs are further cut to specification for each individual project which includes shaping of the edges into the detail required for installation.

Leeto le Lokelang ho Leta

Now that you know the incredible journey that natural stone takes from deep inside the earth and into your kitchen, I’m sure you’ll agree that it is certainly worth the wait. Thanks to advancements in the industry over the years and the demand that exists for natural stone of all kinds, you don’t actually have to sit around while your marble, quartzite or granite is quarried and processed.
