Cardiff is a natural quartzite thin veneer in an old-world mosaic pattern.  The edges of the individual pieces of stone showcase the natural way the stone comes out of the ground; they have not been split or sawn.  The only processing for the Cardiff stone is the sawn back done with a diamond blade to a thickness of approximately 1.25”.  Cardiff is not a tumbled stone in the sense that it has gone through a tumbling machine, however, the stone gets a light tumbling during the quarrying process.  As the pieces are excavated, they are scooped by the loader and hauled to the shop for thin veneer sawing.  The pieces are constantly rubbing and grinding against each other creating a very light tumble.  This is a premium thin stone we import from overseas.  We have pallets in stock and ready for immediate shipment.
