Shellstone Imports, Inc.

Marbella is a stunning natural stone infused with ancient coral, colored shells and visual fossils. The different fossils that can be found in Marbella date back thousands of years & can be found in every piece. It has a light sandy beige tone, which remains consistent throughout the whole quarry. We could match a Marbella Tile that was produced over 10 years ago with a Marbella Tile that was quarried last month. The popularity of this stone can be attributed to its oceanic characteristics, which makes it very desirable for areas located along coastal regions.
