You know that some of the most exquisite marble in the world comes from Italy. And Brazil has historically produced some of the most gorgeous granites available. But, did you know that there are some pretty amazing natural stones that are quarried right here in the United States?
   
Although stone is formed everywhere around the world, it’s not always economically feasible, or possible, to quarry it. Some stone may be too brittle, some too hard, and some may have all the desirable properties of marble or granite but just don’t have the “look” that homeowners, builders, and architects want. Countries like Italy and Spain have used stone for building for many centuries. They’ve developed the very best systems and processes for quarrying.
Here in the U.S., we’ve traditionally relied on wood for building. Comparatively speaking, we just don’t have the rich history of quarrying that some countries do. But that doesn’t mean that American “grown” stone is any less beautiful. For example, the famous Danby Marble Quarry in Vermont has produced breathtaking marble for more than 100 years. The world-class stone quarry twists and turns more than a mile-and-a-half deep into the Dorset Mountains and its marble has been used for various projects around the world.
