The Marble Institute of America, Inc. (MIA) has developed a new four-color brochure for consumers, called "Beautify Your Home with Natural Stone." The 12-page booklet identifies the types of natural stone available to homeowners and common interior and exterior home uses. Information about the care and maintenance of natural stone, a Q & A section, and tips on selecting and working with a qualified stone contractor are also included.

"As the natural stone industry's leading advocate, our mission is to educate the commercial and residential marketplaces about the beauty, versatility and long-lasting value of natural stone," said Garis Distelhorst, executive vice president of MIA.

Packets of 25 brochures can be purchased from MIA online at www.marble-institute.com. Quantity discounts are available, and MIA members receive preferred pricing.
