Terrazzo consists of chips of marble, granite, and other decorative stones. Marble chips are the most common aggregate. Many marble chips have a distinct color that works wonderfully with any resin color to create a custom terrazzo design.
Most aggregates are produced from natural sources that are extracted from quarries and gravel pits. These aggregates are often used in new construction buildings or used for renovations and repair jobs.
Travertine, a type of limestone, exists in white, tan, and cream-colored varieties. You can find these aggregates near hot springs or in caves.
Agate and onyx form almost any color as well. You can find these materials in various regions around the world like Brazil, India, Canada, and some states in the US.
Another mineral is serpentine. One can find serpentine near metamorphic environments like volcanoes. There are many colorful aggregates out there in the world for miners to dig up.
In review, many natural stones come from different locations around the world. This includes mountains, volcanoes, riverbeds, and hot springs where calcareous rocks are likely to form. TERRAZZCO professionals extract aggregates from their sites and later crush the stones into standard chip sizes here at our facility.
