Factual description of Natural Stone Tiles | The mother earth has several reserves for the natural stone. You can find it under the earth crust. They can be found in different countries of the world.

The natural stone is extracted from the earth crust via quarrying process. The region where the stone is deposited is known as quarry. The quarrier removes the chunk of stone from the quarry and sends it to the manufacturing industry. The stone is processed in the industry and converted into natural tiles. These tiles are manufactured as a batch, so that they don't differentiate from each other.

It is also responsible for the luster of the tile surface.
