As with a quarry that produces any other type of natural stone, a marble quarry is a place where the natural stone is extracted from the earth, cut and shipped off to fabricators before you choose the slab you like for your new countertop, backsplash, vanity top or other home structure.

At the quarry, it can take months before any marble is able to be extracted from the earth. But once it is, the process can finally begin. Once the marble blocks are cut, the stone can be cut into thin pieces called slabs. Marble slabs are then transported to the fabricator, who will ultimately shape the stone to suit the needs of your specific project.

Marble is one of the best natural stone materials that you can have in your home. Despite other materials that can be made to mimic the look of marble, there is nothing quite like the distinctive coloring and veins that you will see in marble. Marble quarrying is a carefully executed job that allows access to some of the most beautiful material that the planet produces. Wherever your marble or the marble you are looking at was quarried, you now know the process of how the stone travels from inside the earth to your home.
