Core Sourcing Agent for Amazonite Quartzite

One stone, from the lot to the container

Amazonite Quartzite is not a commodity we hold in stock by the square metre — it is a stone whose value is decided slab by slab. So the chain starts at lot selection, not at the container. We buy the lot, match the run, cut in factories that understand a book-matched layout, check every piece against what was approved, and ship from the port that suits your lane. One stone, one team, nothing between you and the source.

01

Bought by the lot

Our buying volume is the reason our prices hold, but on this stone the more important thing is that we buy at lot level. The colour density and veining direction of a run are decided before anything is cut, so we choose the lot rather than take what a shipment offers.

  • Lot-level selection with colour and veining direction checked in person
  • Runs matched side by side, not slab by slab in isolation
  • No second trader layer between the lot and the saw
02

Slab run approved before cutting

You see the actual stones, photographed side by side, together with a book-matched layout. Nothing is cut until that run is approved — on a colour-led stone this is the only point where changing your mind is still cheap.

  • Matched run photographed in daylight and under warm light
  • 3D / BIM / CAD book-match layout issued for approval
  • Quartz movement and veining direction mapped across the run
03

Cutting and finishing

Blocks go to factories running CAD, 3ds Max and BIM-driven cutting. Layouts are nested before sawing, so the pairs land where they were drawn and the yield is planned rather than discovered.

  • Gang sawing opened on the veining, not against it
  • High polish for colour depth; honed or brushed where the room asks for it
  • 20 and 30 mm standard, calibrated
04

Quality control through production

Our team is on site while the job is being made, and photographs the work as it moves. Thickness, calibre, veining, polish and finish are checked batch by batch.

  • Colour and veining checked against the approved run
  • Progress photographs sent during production
  • Packaging and crate loading done to export standard
05

Pre-loading inspection

Before the container is sealed we check the actual pieces against the run you approved. If a piece does not belong in the sequence, it leaves in China — not in your warehouse.

  • Every piece checked against the approved run, not against a reference image
  • Container loading supervised and photographed
  • Seal number and loading report issued to you
06

Port of your choice & freight comparison

Xiamen is closest to Shuitou, but stone this size and this weight is priced by the lane, so we quote from whichever port serves it best — Xiamen, Quanzhou, Ningbo or Shanghai. Several forwarders, every number side by side.

  • Competing quotations presented side by side
  • EXW, FOB and CIF terms quoted for comparison
  • English throughout, from factory visit to bill of lading

The material we quote against

Published trade values for Amazonite Quartzite, so you have something to compare a quotation against. Absorption, density and strength figures are typical ranges from the literature on this stone rather than our own certificate — ask for the test report on the current lot and we will send it. Pricing is slab by slab, so we quote against your specification in writing rather than publish a list that would be out of date within a month.

Physical

Water absorption 0.2–0.4%
Density 2.65–2.70 g/cm³
Flexural strength 18–22 MPa
Compressive strength 160–200 MPa

Hardness & character

Sits between granite and marble on the hardness scale
Resists heat and everyday scratching
Quartzite in character — does not etch like marble

Commercial

Quoted slab by slab against grade, thickness, size and polish
Published North American slab pricing roughly USD 5,800–18,000+
We quote FOB in writing, per slab or per sqm
Lead time confirmed with the lot

What we can make for you

Forty-eight product forms, all cut and finished through the factories we work with. On this stone the specification usually starts with where the colour goes — pick a group to see the sizes, thicknesses and finishes, and tell us the location so we can point you at the right lot.

Send us the location, and we will find the lot

A waterfall island, a bar top, a feature wall or a run of slabs — tell us where the colour is going, the thickness, the quantity and the destination port. We will come back with the lots that suit it, a matched run, a book-match layout and a freight comparison, normally within three working days. Everything stays between us; no factory ever sees your details.
