Exports
In the year 2014 the Brazilian exports of ornamental stone and cladding reached 1.276 billion US$, corresponding to physical volume of almost 2.5 million tons. Processed stone consisted of almost 80% of sales and more than half of the total physical volume exported. Rough stone, on its part, represented 20.69% of sales and 48.84% of total physical volume exported.
There is nothing better than the design created by nature itself to achieve unique environments. The natural veins of the stones offer infinite possibilities of creation of unique spaces for the interiors of homes. The Spanish company MARMOLSPAIN presents its proposals in its showroom located in Novelda (Alicante), some of which we show here.
