About Us

Porphyry has been a symbol of great prestige since the Egyptians and Romans extending to the present day. It continues to be widely used in Europe, preferred as a natural paving surface because of its beauty, durability, and low maintenance requirements. Europeans understand the value of enhancing an architectural or civic project with long-lasting and beautiful cobblestone squares, streets, and walkways. This stone is a rare igneous rock that is quarried in only a few locations worldwide.

 • Porphyry's technical characteristics make it one of the most durable paving and facing materials in the world.

 • Porphyry breaks naturally into slabs at the quarry site. The natural surface is smooth, attractive, and comfortable.

  • Unlike a manufactured granite or other product, porphyry will not become slippery after years of use.

  • The subtle, natural variations in color lend a redefined quality to any design project.

Porphyry Inc. can fabricate stone according to your specifications in a number of product types, including tiles, curbstones, and cobblestone cubes. Porphyry is most often chosen because of its natural surface, but it is also available in flamed, bush-hammered or finished surfaces.
