Rio - Marble Quartz & Granite
Nature only makes one of each.
We craft it with the care it deserves.
At Rio Marble, we believe that every slab of stone has a story. Our own story began not in a showroom, but deep within the earth, with the hum of machinery and a profound respect for the natural world. My journey with stone is the foundation of this company, and it’s a journey I’m proud to share with you.
It all started when Italian quarrymen came to extract stone near my father’s house. I was young, fascinated, and eager to learn. I began working right there at the quarry, watching the masters at their craft. My first lessons were in the dust and the sun, learning the intricate process of cutting and freeing those magnificent blocks of stone from the mountain. It was there I learned that stone isn’t just a material—it has a spirit.
That initial spark ignited a lifelong passion. My quest for knowledge and experience led me first through the renowned stone regions of Brazil, from Castelo to Bahia, where I spent two years deepening my craft.
The search for the world’s most beautiful and unique materials then took me across the ocean to Africa. For three years, I worked in its diverse quarries, discovering new textures, colors, and patterns, and understanding the challenges and rewards of sourcing stone from different corners of the globe.
Our Promise, Here in the United States
For the last fifteen years, I have called the United States home. It’s here that I founded Rio Marble, bringing together all the lessons, experiences, and relationships I’ve built over a lifetime.
My mission is simple: to bring you the absolute best. We leverage a lifetime of hands-on experience to source superior products directly from the quarry. Our goal isn’t just to sell marble; it’s to deliver a piece of the earth’s artistry into your home and, most importantly, to make you happy.
Thank you for being a part of our journey.
