The Natural Stone Institute, in partnership with Stone World, held one of its regularly scheduled virtual Stone Summits focusing on quartzite, which proved to be a “hot” issue among fabricators. During the hour-and-a-half-long session, the discussion touched on a variety of points – from the composition of quartzite to the challenges working with the material to the proper tooling to use in the production process.
Jacqueline Tabbah of International Stoneworks discusses how her company approaches stone restoration, including some common problems they encounter.
The Natural Stone Institute and Stone World collaborate to present regional one-of-a-kind stone industry events. These “Town Hall-”style
sessions are tailored specifically to the attendees and aim to help those in the stone industry grow and develop by increasing shop efficiency, providing training resources, metrics for developing business plans and much more.
