Thinness Breeds Value–A Brief History

Earth Anatomy Thin Granite Veneer

Earth Anatomy Thin Granite Veneer

Making natural stone thinner has been a work in progress for several thousand years. During the construction of the Pyramids in 2500 B.C. the ancient Egyptians chose to quarry blocks of stone and use them in their construction. Instead of making the block thinner and cutting it into slabs, they utilized their slave labor force and unique moving methods to get the blocks into place.

Natural stone has come a long way!

Much like the evolution of televisons from large tube based screens to the thin LCD screens we see today, natural stone has made its way thinnerĀ  as well.

There are other examples like wood veneer, Motorola Razr, and the Macbook Air. Each led to expanded use in their given niches.

Natural stone is no different. At less than one millimeter, Earth Anatomy is the thinnest and lightest granite in the world. We are excited for the revolution coming to the stone industry!
