Our Long Island warehouse and showroom features an extensive collection of natural stone slabs, including soapstone, marble, granite, slate, and quartzite. We cater to homeowners, contractors, designers, DIY renovators—anyone looking for high-quality stone for residential renovations and commercial projects and installations. Because of our proximity to our New Jersey Headquarters, we are able to cross-share stock between the two branches.

What Stone Varieties Can I Find at the Long Island Warehouse?
We source and supply soapstone, marble, granite, and other natural stone varieties from domestic and international quarries in the USA, Brazil, and Italy. These natural stone slabs can become kitchen and bathroom countertops, backsplashes, sinks, floor tiles, fireplace mantles, and accent pieces. Each stone variety features unique visual characteristics and physical attributes that make it suited for home renovations and decorative projects.
Soapstone
Soapstone is a natural stone used by designers and homeowners who want something different for their space. This dense, talc-based metamorphic rock features natural heat and water resistance, making soapstone ideal for sinks, countertops, fireplace mantels, and outdoor kitchen areas. Natural soapstone varieties range from light to dark with subtle or vibrant veining. Applying an oil or wax treatment can deepen the color in some soapstone varieties and bring out stunning shades of black, green, or blue.
Marble
Marble is an elegant, sturdy natural stone with a striking appearance. Marble comes in a range of colors, from stark white to rich black with bold contrast veining throughout. Durable marble is heat-resistant, making it widely desired for kitchen countertops, and it’s also a favorite for decorative accent pieces and floor tiles.
Granite
Granite is an igneous rock composed of quartz and feldspar. This durable natural stone resists wear and tear. Granite is stain-, heat- and scratch-resistant, making it a popular material for countertops and backsplashes in a busy home or commercial kitchen. Granite comes in hues of black, gray, blue, gold, and cream, with distinctive veins and patterns throughout. As with all natural stone products, granite slabs contain slight differences—no two are exactly alike.
Slate
Slate is a metamorphic rock composed of clay minerals and micas. This fine-grained natural stone is durable enough for roofing and floor tile but attractive enough for a kitchen island countertop. Non-porous slate can withstand excessive moisture, making it perfect for bathroom shower tiles and kitchen sink backsplashes. Most slate slabs come in light to dark gray, but the presence of iron and other organic materials can give this natural stone a green, red, black, purple, or brown tint.
Quartzite
Quartzite is a metamorphic rock that begins as sandstone and changes under the natural application of heat and pressure. Not to be confused with quartz slabs—an engineered material made by combining natural quartz with coloring agents and resin and pressing it into slabs—quartzite is mined in large slabs, then cut further for sale and fabrication. Quartzite contains sparkling crystal and distinctive veining similar to marble and granite, so it’s ideal for backsplashes, fireplace surrounds, or accent wall tiles, and many people choose quartzite for kitchen countertops and island tops. Find quartzite slabs in warm hues or earthy tones, including white, brown, green, blue, pink, and gray.
