In the past few decades, people with obsessive-compulsive disorder have had little fondness for color differences. Many people prefer a neat, single, and simple design style. When encountering color differences in stone, people are always eager to eliminate color differences or hope to choose stones with smaller color differences. But in the eyes of designers, stones with color differences are actually treasures. Color difference engineering is the highest art in nature, and the greater the color difference, the more precious it is. Natural is the best. Why is that?   “No two leaves are identical in the world.” -- Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz (German philosopher) “No two stones are identical in the world.” -- Men in stone business   The natural color difference is precisely the charm of stone. By taking advantage of the color difference, the entire space will bloom with a unique charm. Many clients believe that the quality of the materials used is poor, but in fact, this is a misunderstanding of the stone materials.   Reasons for color difference in stone     Reason 1: Surface and deep mineral deposits   Stone is extracted in batches from mines to quarries, from top to bottom, from outside to inside. In the natural environment, the outer layer of stone is more exposed to water, air, and sunlight. However, the stone hidden deep inside does not have such an environment. Therefore, there is a general difference in color between surface and deep minerals. After deep mining, the stone will also undergo changes in color under new environments such as sunlight, air, and water.   Reason 2: Uneven mineral content   The basic material of marble is calcium carbonate (limestone). In addition to basic minerals, various elements and minerals are mixed together to form the ever-changing colors and textures of stone. Taking stone from South America as an example, the geological movement in South America is strong, and the underground is rich in copper, iron, and various metallic minerals. Therefore, stones produced in South America usually have large variations in texture and rich colors. The distribution of various minerals in nature is uneven, otherwise humans would not need to explore mineral deposits. This unevenness causes differences in the color of the stone.     Reason 3: Different methods of mining and processing   The stone extracted from the mine is usually a whole block of raw material, which needs to be cut into pieces, which we call large slabs. In the processing of raw materials, there are different cutting directions. This kind of processing difference cannot be completely avoided even with great attention during stone processing, and the cut slabs will have more or less differences.   Reason 4: Different degrees of surface processing   The color of the rough and smooth surfaces of the same stone variety is different. In smooth surfaces, the difference between p...

Among many building materials, stone has long been favored for its natural texture and feel. However, as time passes and usage frequency increases, even hard stone will lose its original luster and color, appearing dull. At this point, professional stone cleaning becomes particularly important as it can effectively restore and enhance the beautiful appearance of the stone, extending its service life.   There are various reasons for stone to become dirty or worn, including dust deposition, stain adsorption, moisture erosion, and human wear and tear. In response to these issues, stone cleaning work usually follows a series of professional processes to ensure that the stone is properly handled and maintained.   Cleaning is the most basic and important step in stone maintenance. Professional cleaning personnel will use mild cleaning agents and soft bristled brushes to clean the surface of the stone, removing attached dust and impurities. This process requires care and patience to ensure that the surface of the stone is not damaged.     For stones that have already been stained or discolored, deep cleaning is required. This may involve the use of cleaning agents with specific chemical components that can penetrate the interior of the stone and decompose stain molecules. When necessary, grinding or sandblasting can also be used to remove stubborn stains, but this requires great caution to avoid damaging the surface of the stone.   After cleaning, the next steps are repair and polishing. For stones with scratches or cracks, they can be repaired with fillers and then floor flat to restore a smooth surface. Polishing is the process of using grinding wheels of different fineness to rub the stone, gradually grinding it from coarse to fine until the surface of the stone becomes smooth and shiny.   In order to maintain the beauty of the stone in the long term, regular sealing and protection are also necessary. After cleaning and polishing, stone will form many tiny pores, which are easy to absorb new stains. By applying professional sealants, a protective layer can be formed to reduce the penetration of pollutants, while also adding an additional layer of protection to the stone.     In addition to regular cleaning procedures, daily care is equally important. Avoiding prolonged exposure of stone to damp environments, promptly cleaning up spills, and using floor mats to reduce wear and tear are all effective methods for maintaining stone.   Stone cleaning is not just about simple cleaning and wiping, it involves a profound understanding of material properties, as well as a comprehensive mastery of cleaning, repairing, polishing, and protection techniques. Only through professional maintenance can we maximize the beauty of stone, allowing it to still emit its charming radiance even after years of baptism.   In home decoration and public buildings, stone brings us unique natural beauty. However, this beauty is co...

Marble is an eternal classic that will never go out of style. The combination of black and white marble, combined with minimalist lines, makes the space simple, comfortable, and natural. Colored marble gives the space a brighter and more saturated color tone.   Designers and their clients both love marble because this kind of material is timeless and seems to be connected to history, the Earth, and its depths. There are too many synthetic materials in furniture design nowadays, and their lifespan is often very short. Natural stone can withstand any trend changes, it is a durable material. Just like the radiance emitted by these nine different types of onyx, showcasing the natural beauty of stone, it looks like a gateway to another dimension. Since the outbreak, people have been eager to constantly approach nature rather than integrating it into their projects. Designers no longer adjust natural materials based on selected concepts and styles, but build the entire project around them.   Passing through the onyx gate, what catches the eye is a fun filled bathroom designed as a complete sculpture. This inspiring work is made up of a series of pink onyx stones with different functions interwoven together. Blue and green marble are really popular now. For example, on the back panel of the kitchen, there is Ice Jade marble.   What exactly is marble? How is it different from other types of stone used in interior design? Marble is a type of metamorphic rock that is formed when existing rocks (in this case limestone) undergo transformation through exposure to high temperatures without actual melting. During the recrystallization process, not only did its structure undergo changes, but also unique wave patterns and patterns appeared, endowing this stone with such expressive and unique personality. Marble can be found anywhere in the world, but most commonly in India, China, Türkiye, Greece and Italy.   The selection and installation of marble is a true epic, and you won't replace marble slabs every few years. If you fall in love with an unusual color at first sight, collect stone samples and live with them for a period of time to prevent it from becoming boring within a few days. If you still like this material, its texture, and color, please feel free to order marble for the selected design.

There are a variety and richness of marble varieties, and marble from different places has different feelings. In addition to Chinese marble, there are also imported marble. For example, Iran, Türkiye, Italy and Brazil are the world's stone raw materials exporting countries. They have various varieties, rich reserves and high quality. Today, let me introduce the varieties and distribution of Iran, one of the four major marble producing origins in foreign countries.   There are over 5000 stone processing plants and 1200 mines in Iran, with over 900 stone mines already mined. As for the stone resources of Iran as a whole, the stone resources currently developed only account for 25% of the country's stone resources, with 75% remaining undeveloped. Lorestan Province is a major mining and construction stone deposit in the western province of Iran, with 400 cutting machinery and processing companies in the region alone. So, Iran's stone resources have a considerable strength internationally.   Iran has 32 provinces, each with abundant granite and marble. According to the geographical location of Iran, there are travertine and marble in the north, abundant varieties of granite in the south, and more marble and travertine resources in the central region, with fewer granite resources. The surrounding areas of its borders are mainly composed of granite resources.   Common Iranian travertine varieties in China: Iran beige travertine belong to the beige series color scheme, with a light and soft color. It is named after many holes, and the scientific name for its stone is tuff or limestone. In commercial terms, it is classified as marble. The paleontological fossils presented from the travertine form natural patterns, which are very suitable for indoor wall bodies, floors, hand washing box craftsmanship, and exterior wall materials. Iran yellow travertine is beige in color with alternating yellow and white patterns. Its advantages are simple and natural, elegant and noble. It has a higher hardness than ordinary stones, and is elegant and noble. It is an ideal material for halls, curtain walls, and columns. Iran white travertine is the species with the whitest color, hardest quality, and densest structure among all travertine, with even and finer patterns. The texture inside the travertine is the hardest. The style is simple and natural, elegant and noble, making it an ideal material for halls, curtain walls, and columns. Iran red travertine is a red travertine with clear layering and distinct pores. A bright red background with yellow stripes. Its unique texture highlights the exotic and mysterious colors of Southeast Asia. Suitable for interior decoration, background walls, floors, toilets, countertops, etc.

BEIJING - In a groundbreaking achievement that underscores China's commitment to lunar exploration and the innovative application of traditional materials, the Chang'e-6 lunar probe recently embarked on its journey to the moon carrying a unique payload: a Five-Star Red Flag fabricated from volcanic basalt fiber. This "stone-woven" flag not only represents a symbolic triumph for China's space program but also signals new horizons for the global stone industry. The flag, weighing merely 11.3 grams, was meticulously crafted using advanced spinning and weaving techniques developed by researchers at Wuhan Textile University. Its core material, sourced from the county of Weixian in Hebei Province, is a testament to the versatility of basalt, a common volcanic rock transformed into an extraordinary symbol of national pride.   Basalt fibers, renowned for their exceptional strength, heat resistance, and durability, were chosen due to their ability to withstand the harsh lunar environment. The process involved crushing the basalt stone, melting it into a molten state, and then spinning it into ultrafine fibers thinner than a human hair. These fibers were further processed into yarn, woven into fabric, and finally dyed to create the iconic red and yellow hues of China's national flag.   This technological feat is not just a milestone for space exploration; it showcases the potential for the stone industry to contribute to high-tech applications. Basalt, once primarily used in construction and insulation, is now proving its worth in the realm of aerospace, where lightweight yet durable materials are paramount.   "The successful deployment of the basalt fiber flag on the moon's surface is a demonstration of how the integration of traditional industries with cutting-edge technology can lead to revolutionary advancements," commented Professor Zhang Wei, a leading researcher from Wuhan Textile University who was involved in the project. "It opens up a whole new realm of possibilities for the stone industry, pushing the boundaries of what we thought was achievable."   Industry experts believe this innovation could spur the development of novel basalt-based products for extreme environments on Earth, such as deep-sea exploration or high-temperature industrial applications, thereby revitalizing the stone industry sector and fostering sustainable economic growth.   China's Chang'e-6 mission, launched on May 3rd from the Wenchang Space Launch Center aboard a Long March 5B rocket, aims to conduct scientific surveys and collect samples from the unexplored lunar south pole. The inclusion of the stone-woven flag adds a symbolic dimension to this technically challenging endeavor, underlining China's ambition to pioneer not just in space but also in the realms of materials science and engineering.   As the world watches the historic mission unfold, the basalt flag waving proudly on the moon's barren landscape stands as a beacon of human ingenu...
