Is Makrana marble better than Italian marble?

Makrana Pure White marble from Nagaur, Rajasthan has 98%+ calcium carbonate purity — higher than most Italian marbles. Unlike Italian marble, authentic Makrana Sangemarmar contains no iron deposits that cause yellowing over time. It absorbs zero water and grows whiter and glossier with decades of use. It is the marble used in the Taj Mahal and remains India's premium-grade calcite marble.

Which granite is best for kitchen countertops in Indian homes?

For Indian kitchens, Absolute Black Granite (polished or leathered finish) is the top choice — it withstands extreme heat from pressure cookers and heavy chopping, hides haldi stains, and requires minimal maintenance. Steel Grey, Titanium Gold, and Alaska White are also popular for modern kitchen islands. Alternatively, Calacatta Gold Engineered Quartz is 100% non-porous and stain-proof against curry and spices.

Do you deliver granite and marble slabs outside Jaipur across India?

Yes. ShivMahima Granite and Tiles dispatches stone slabs and tiles pan-India — including Delhi NCR, Mumbai, Ahmedabad, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Kolkata, and Pune. Slabs are packed in foam-padded A-frame wooden crates with steel strapping and transported in dedicated pneumatic-suspension trucks to ensure zero transit breakage.

What is the difference between GVT and PGVT vitrified tiles?

GVT (Glazed Vitrified Tiles) have a protective glaze layer applied over the tile body, offering rich colour and pattern depth. PGVT (Polished Glazed Vitrified Tiles) undergo an additional high-speed polishing process after glazing, resulting in a mirror-gloss surface that mimics natural stone. Both are more durable and stain-resistant than traditional ceramic tiles.

Bidasar Rainforest Marble: The Serpentine Wonder of Rajasthan’s Desert

In the arid desert terrain of Bidasar (Churu district, Rajasthan) lies one of the planet’s most dramatic natural stones — Rainforest Green and Rainforest Brown Marble. Known internationally as Bidasar Serpentine, this stone resembles an intricate canvas of ancient tree roots, mossy rivers, and petrified foliage.

1. The Geologic Transformation

Formed from ancient ocean-floor serpentine minerals and iron oxides under extreme tectonic pressure, Bidasar stone features rich earthy tones ranging from emerald forest greens to terracotta golds and mahogany browns.

2. Ideal Architectural Applications

Because of its rich artistic complexity, Bidasar marble is rarely used as plain floor tile. Instead, it is showcased as backlit feature walls, elevator foyer framing, luxury powder room vanities, and dining table tops.

Architectural Takeaways & Buying Summary

✓Quarried exclusively in Bidasar, Rajasthan — found nowhere else in the world.
✓Features unmistakable tree-root serpentine veins in green, brown, and gold.
✓Best used for accent walls, fireplace cladding, and statement furniture.
