This beautifully veined Red Marinache granite is one of dozens of unusual shade variations offered by this distributor. The durable stone can be cut, polished and used for countertops, flooring or other household applications, interior or exterior.

According to Lotus Exim, an American distributor of this and other stone products, advancements in quarrying and shipping have reduced the cost of granite significantly, making it financially comparable with engineered granite products.
