Stone...the foundation of mountains.
Is stone durable? For billion of years granites have been heated to thousands of degrees Fahrenheit and lay buried beneath the earth. Marble or limestone was created hundreds of millions of years ago at lesser, yet still impressive, temperatures.
Stone slabs and tiles are a material for life. Material is literally 'blown' out of quarries with dynamite; the blocks are cut and then polished into slabs and tiles to be exported.
Each piece is a unique painting created by God. Each stone has a life of it's own and is different from every other. No two are alike. Granite is opaque. Marble or Onyx may be either opaque or semi-transparent. Stone materials gain a radiant quality from light that is being scattered and reflected from the surface.
We offer semi-precious slabs and tile: Lapis Lazuli, Malachite and Blue and Gold Tiger Eye, just to name a few. Many semi-precious stones are now available embedded in epoxy, a new technique on the market today. Either of these materials may be customized in shape and thickness and are suitable for tabletops and countertops.
Agape also specializes in handmade stone mosaic murals, medallions and carpets by the finest artisans. These murals may be custom tailored for your installation: color, size, finish or tesserae size (micro-mosaics). Stone murals may be ordered polished or tumbled. Custom intarsia murals incorporating the finest in gemstones may be commissioned from our Fine Artist on staff. Art sources may be our original design, old world and master reproductions (non-copyright) or your own personal vision.
