Granite is a common type of intrusive, felsic, igneous rock that is granular and phaneritic in texture. It is predominantly composed of feldspar, quartz, and mica minerals, although it may also contain other minerals such as amphiboles and pyroxenes. The color of granite can vary widely, ranging from pink to gray to black, depending on the relative proportions of its constituent minerals.
Granite forms underground through the slow cooling and solidification of magma deep within the Earth’s crust. As it cools, minerals within the magma crystallize and interlock, creating the characteristic speckled appearance and strong, durable structure of granite. This slow cooling process allows for the formation of large mineral crystals, giving granite its coarse-grained texture.
India is one of the world’s leading producers and exporters of granite. The country has vast reserves of granite deposits, with a wide range of colors, patterns, and qualities available.
Global Stonex is exporter of Indian Granite. We have our own quarry and processing unites in north and south India as well as we have tie-up with other quarries in order to provide a wide array of granite to our global customers.
Our Process of Exporting of Granite from India involves the following steps:
1. Receiving of order:
After finalisation of order after sample verification, we start mining of sourcing of raw block of granite from relevant mining area, and get the block to processing unit for further process.
2. Mining/Sourcing:
We have our own query and also tied-up with some finest quarries with well euiped modern machenaries. Raw blocks are cut from mimes using specialised cutting equipment, such as a diamond blade or a diamond wire saw.
It requires an eye of an eagle to dig up and sort natural wonders of the highest quality. Our expert team selects the most superior blocks from qurry for export purpose. Raw blocks are properly cleansed and dressed from all sides to rip off all the impuritiesmake and to make the surface of the blocks plane and defect-free.
3. Sawing the Block:
Standing still with the international quality standards, the company cuts uniformly thicker slabs as per the requirment of customer. Before cutting the block is reinforced with fibre glass net and a semi-solid reinforcement product to avoid breakage of slab during sawing.
Block is shifted and fixed on the Gangsaw trolley and taken through the slab cutting process in our
factory where have installed the most advanced gangsaw & cutters. Small size blocks are processed by simple disc saws and medium and large blocks are processed by gang saws to obtain standard 2-cm thick one-side-polished slabs.
4. Polishing the Slab:
Finely cut slabs are applied perfect blend of Epoxy Resin and is moved into the very progressive &
automated resin line and dried up at optimum temperatures. As a last facet, final glossy touch is given to our refined slabs through our automated line polishers, leaving an unparalleled and crystal glow on the slab which is 30 % more than the conventional polishing.
