Natural stone is ancient. Throughout generations it has been used to build cities, roads, skyscrapers, hotels and churches. We have relaxed in front of stone fireplaces, cooked on stone countertops, bathed in stone tubs, and sang in stone showers. We admire the sculptures that are carved in stone and show respect to our lost loved ones whose names are etched in stone.
Natural stone in whatever form we see it is an expression of art, of life, of history, and of progress. When we design or imagine a space or environment, we can utilize natural stone to create a combination of beauty, strength, endurance, and treasure. Stone allows us to share our passions, our history, and our innovation.
As a stone supplier, Slate Jacksonville by G&L Marble is excited to be a part of an industry that is rich in demand and rapidly changing and progressing. The depth and size of our inventory represent only a portion of the available stones in the world.

G&L Marble has been fortunate to have the opportunity to travel to different areas of the world to select unique stones and determine which ones would be the most appealing to our diverse customer base. Some of these areas are remote. In the villages reside families that have worked the stone quarries for generations. Their homes are built into the sides of the mountain and the stone is as much a part of their lives as the clothes on their backs. Spectacular views and humble beginnings, a feeling as if time stood still.
In Namibia the quarries are under sand. A desert that stretches so far, that the eerie somber feeling whispers of a biblical overtone. The thought of these formations laying dormant under the sand for millions of years before being discovered is like unveiling a treasure.
This is a challenging and rewarding venture. The experience enriches the appreciation and understanding of how this incredible natural resource that transforms history, geography, and it’s alluring presence into our hearts and our homes. The experience of traveling is a lesson of cultures, regions, people and history, from the past and the present. The transformation from an earth formation to a block to a factory to our showroom to whatever kind of use that you can imagine is amazing. The stunning colors combined with whimsical movement entice us to keep searching and continue to discover even more of the exciting and wonderful treasures that nature has to offer.
