What can a small box of natural stone tell you? Quite a bit, actually.
In this quick FAQ video, our CEO unboxes a sample of Sterling Tan Thinstone Veneer, and walks through what to look for when it arrives. From natural color and texture, to the variation that makes every piece unique, it's a closer look at why samples are such a valuable part of the selection process.
Whether you're comparing options for a project, or helping a customer find the right fit, knowing what to look for can make all the difference!

And to help when the package arrives, we've recently added new informational cards to our sample boxes! These handy guides offer helpful tips for evaluating your sample and include a link to our image database, where you can explore more photos of our natural stone in completed projects and different applications. It's an easy way to go from a small sample to a bigger picture of what's possible.
Small Boxes. Big Potential.
By the end of 2026, we'll have shipped approximately 8 tons of natural stone samples and fulfilled 357 sample requests! That's a lot of little pieces of stone making their way to future projects, and every one is an opportunity to help someone find the right material.
