Granite begins its journey in the deep layers of the earth, and it is through careful and skilled quarrying that this natural stone is brought to the surface. Quarry granite refers to granite that is freshly extracted from large open-pit mines before it undergoes cutting, polishing, and finishing for use in construction and interior design.
How Granite Is Quarried
- Surveying and Mapping
Geologists and engineers study the area to assess rock quality, depth, and structural integrity. - Cutting & Extraction
Using advanced techniques like diamond wire saws and controlled drilling, massive granite blocks are carefully extracted with minimal environmental disruption. - Block Segmentation
Once extracted, the large blocks are further divided into transportable sizes for processing. - Transportation
The segmented blocks are transported to stone processing units where they are transformed into polished slabs, tiles, and custom stone products.
Key Granite Quarries in India
India is blessed with rich granite reserves across several states:
- Tamil Nadu – Known for Black and Red granite
- Karnataka – Jet Black, Himalayan Blue
- Andhra Pradesh – Black Galaxy, Vizag Blue
- Rajasthan – Desert Brown, Rosy Pink
