Natural stone is sourced from around the world, with several countries recognised for their quality and variety. Popular destinations include Italy, China, India, Brazil, Spain, Turkey, and various Middle Eastern countries, each known for their unique stone offerings.

These countries boast extensive quarrying facilities, advanced production capabilities, and are always ready to export. At Stone Consultants Australia, we specialise in helping you source the finest materials directly from these global producers.

China, in particular, is often the most economical choice for material sourcing. Over the past 20 years, China's commitment to quality has solidified its position as the largest natural stone producer worldwide. Stone blocks from various countries are processed in China, which also hosts the world’s largest stone exhibition each March in Southern China.

Italy, however, remains the industry pioneer. Renowned for its premium stones like Carrara, Calacatta, Arabescato, and Statuario, Italy's production is focused on meeting the high-end demands of the global market. Unlike other countries, Italy rarely exports stone blocks to China, preserving its exclusive quality for direct international distribution.
