Marble

4 live listings

Recrystallised limestone prized for its veining and glow. Unbeatable for bathrooms, feature walls and statement floors, but it etches with acids.

Granite

7 live listings

Crystalline igneous stone that shrugs off scratches, heat and acids. The world's go-to for countertops, stairs, paving and cladding.

Quartzite

4 live listings

Metamorphosed sandstone fused into near-solid quartz. Premium kitchens love it for marble-like veining that doesn't etch.

Travertine

1 live listing

Banded limestone formed at mineral springs, with signature holes. A favourite for patios, pool decks and warm, relaxed interiors.

Limestone

2 live listings

Fossil-rich sedimentary stone in creams, honeys and blue-greys. Architects' choice for serene interiors and monumental façades.

Sandstone

3 live listings

Cemented quartz sand in greys, buffs and rusts. The world's favourite patio stone, with grip built into its grain.

Slate

8 live listings

Fine metamorphic stone that splits into thin sheets. The premium roofing material, and a rustic, slip-resistant floor and wall stone.

Onyx

0 live listings

Banded calcite with extraordinary translucency. Backlit, it turns bars, walls and desks into light sculptures.

Basalt

1 live listing

Fine-grained volcanic rock in charcoal to black. UV-stable, hard-wearing and ideal for paving, pools and minimalist façades.

Quartz

0 live listings

Crushed quartz bound in resin: uniform colour, no sealing. Check silica rules and US trade remedies before you buy.

Terrazzo

Terrazzo is a composite of marble, granite, or glass chips set into cement or resin matrix — a 2,000-year-old material having a major design revival in 2026.

Alabaster

0 live listings

Alabaster is a soft, finely-textured gypsum or calcite — translucent and traditionally used for lampshades, sculpture, and decorative panels.

Not sure which stone fits your project?

Hardness, porosity and how a stone reacts to acids decide where it lasts. Marble and onyx etch, so they suit bathrooms and feature walls better than busy kitchens; granite and quartzite take heat and scratches; sandstone and slate stay grippy outdoors. The Buying Guide sets the stones side by side with where each is sourced, when to buy and the import duties to expect.
