Geology World of Tile Quarry Process

A good sommelier knows more than just the vintage of a wine. She knows how the geography, soil, rain and sunlight affect the grapes that you eventually enjoy as a merlot or cabernet. At The Tile Shop, we have the same passion for understanding the natural stone that we import.

Because the tile you find at The Tile Shop comes from all over the planet, and we are passionate about understanding how geology and quarrying processes in different regions of the world can contribute to different shades, textures and densities. Our business was founded on a passion for nature and discovery, and that passion drives us to search the far corners of the earth for the most beautiful, elegant stone in existence.
