With the demand for white marble on the rise, Vermont Quarries Corp. of Mendon, VT, has amped up its efforts to produce its top-quality material more efficiently so it is readily available for its customers.

TexaStone Quarries, which quarries and fabricates high-quality limestone that is specified and used by architects, builders and owners throughout the U.S., is the first company in the world to be named a certified stone producer that adheres to stringent new sustainability standards.

The growing popularity of white marble countertops and vanities has been noticeable for a while, but I didn’t realize just how much of a sensation they have become until a visit I made last fall to the Vermont Danby marble quarry

I just returned home from StonExpo -- part of The International Surface Event (TISE) West -- in Las Vegas, and I am happy to report that spirits were high among those in the stone industry.

As we begin the New Year, many of us view it as a time to start fresh — making resolutions such as promising ourselves to be more organized

The future is seemingly bright for the U.S. stone fabrication sector, according to a survey conducted by the Market Research Department at BNP Media (Stone World’s parent company).

Now that the holidays are over and the New Year has begun, it is time for us to get back to business.

Once again, Stone World presents the results of its annual Fabricator Purchasing Plan Survey, a survey of American stone fabricators, which polled owners and managers of shops -- large and small -- from across the U.S.

As the year comes to an end, it is natural that we look ahead to the next one. January is usually a time to start fresh.
