As I sit down to write this Stone Column, I feel like I can finally take a breath. It’s been a busy first half of the year for myself and the Stone World staff- filled with a great deal of traveling, both domestically and abroad, to trade shows, workshops and other stone industry events.
This Stone of the Month is supplied by JMS Jura Marble Suppliers, Germany. Technical details provide a frame of reference only. Because stone is a product of nature, testing to determine specific physical qualities should be repeated for each project.
In 1940, Eduarda and Eduardo Cosentino, parents of the current owners of Cosentino Group, started quarrying and carrying out basic marble processing in Macael, Almería, Spain.
To commemorate this anniversary, the Cosentino Group held an event at its Cantoria headquarters on February 26, during which Cosentino's founders, the executive board and a group of employees celebrated 25 years of the Silestone's history.
