As one of the most common and popular granite materials in China, G603 is known by all granite importers, builders and purchasers around the world! It has found wide application worldwide, which can be used in exterior walls, interior floors and square paving stones. It originated in Jinjiang City and later another kind of similar granite was discovered in Wuhan, China, as a result of a government mine closure. Today, I came to Wuhan to check on my order. In the granite quarry, I saw how workers produced and made square paving stones that looked rough and heavy. Under normal conditions, large pieces of quarry stones are pulled aside, and then workers first cut a straight line with a saw blade cutter. After a clear crack is cut out from the huge quarry stone, they fill the crack with iron sheets. Then the iron sheets are tapped with a hammer along the straight line until the huge stone is divided into two small stones.After that, workers flatten the uneven places on the stones with a hammer. By virtue of the exquisite and fluent workmanship of them, the stones flattened are perfectly balanced with a rough sense of aesthetics. China’s granite industry first started in southern China. Due to policy changes, workers moved to the north. Most of these skilled quarrying workers with exquisite workmanship migrated from southern China, and most factory owners and mine owners also moved from southern China. Because of the policy, they closed the original factories and mines, and moved with their whole family here——a place near Wuhan, where they began the granite mining and production. I have visited the granite warehouses of German customers in Germany, who have been importing processed granite of various specifications from China, both for indoor and outdoor! Germans seem to have a preference for outdoor square paving stones. They prefer natural and simple streets and squares. We can say that Germans and even Europeans reflect their traditional aspect in the construction of their homes. The G603 granite is the material for this industry on which many quarries in China depend for survival. Some of their families have been engaged in G603 granite mining for generations. It is also the material for Germans to build their beautiful homes and cities. G603 maintains the friendship between the Chinese and Germans. G603 ist eines der populärsten und gängigsten Granitmaterialien in China. Importeure, Bauherren und Käufer von Granit auf der ganzen Welt erkennen diese Sorte! Es findet weltweit vielseitige Anwendungen. G603, diese Sorte von Granit kann für den Bau der Außenwand, des Innenraumbodens, auch als Pflastersteine der Plätze verwendet werden! Sein Ursprungsort war nur die Stadt Jinjiang, China. Später wurde aufgrund der Einstellung des Bergbaus durch die Regierung in Wuhan, China ein Granit entdeckt, der dem ursprünglichen G603 ähnelt. Heute bin ich nach Wuhan gekommen, um meine Bestellung abzunehmen. Im Granitsteinbruch habe ich gesehen, wie die Arbeiter di...

This month, our boss Angela has visited the Great Bibliotheca Alexandrina in Egypt — which is also a major cultural center situated on the shore of the Mediterranean Sea in the city of Alexandria.  Besides its cultural value, Bibliotheca Alexandria is also a spectacular example of contemporary architecture. Granite elements such as clad walls, facade, floor and wall tiles, steps and risers, and slabs successfully complement the uniqueness of the design.   Often, when people think of granite, the only thing that comes to mind is granite kitchen countertops. And while this building material is perfect for such usage, there are many more applications of this marvelous natural stone.  The Biblioteca Alexandrina is an amazing example of how different granite can look. It is hard to believe, that an ancient majestic looking facade and modern glossy looking walls inside the building are made of the same material. Granite has a great variety of colors, finishes, patterns, and looks.  Find out more about granite applications, pros and cons, design trends and other in Xiamen Archiquarz Building Materials blog.

This December Xiamen Archiquarz Building Materials visited a beautiful country of Indonesia, where our boss Angela gave a speech about the importance of natural stone in the sustainability context to Indonesian construction leaders and developers.  So why did natural stone become our sustainable solution in the building materials industry?  In the urge of saving our planet from climate change, it is crucial to pull all the possible resources together and cooperate. The oldest sustainable material, natural stone,  helps to do it more efficiently.  Natural stone used in construction projects provides the timeless essence of quality, solidity, and prestige and mirrors the basic mechanism of earth building as stone is worked for new building projects and subsequently reused over time. It is the ideal cradle to grave material. According to an independant environmental performance rating, the Green Guide, natural stone in general performs very well across a wide range of categories and usually scores “A” or “A+”.  Going even further, we discovered that there is even more potential to reduce emission in stone in the future. It will be possible by using electricity generated from renewable sources. As we can see, sustainability is an opportunity, not a cost. At Xiamen Archiquarz Building Materials, we choose to help our planet by using natural stone to build a sustainable future. Our company is a member of the Natural Stone Institute and has been certified with ISO 9001, an international standard that specifies requirements for a quality management system (QMS). Our company specializes in Natural Stone Building Materials. We have been in this business for more than 10 years and we love what we do! We know that sustainable design is here to stay. Designing with natural stone for a home presents an exciting array of options. The choice to design with natural stone is a very personal one, but sustainability should be taken into consideration to help with the decision making process.  Xiamen Archiquarz Building Materials professionals are always happy to help out clients achieve their goals and the specific needs for their project and  make the most sustainable choice, one that they will enjoy for many years to come!

Keep Silent Now, let’s count to twelve Let’s keep silent On the earth this time, Let’s not speak any language, Let’s cease for a second, And stop waving our arms wildly. This will be a sweet moment, No hurry, no trains to catch In a sudden uneasiness, All of us coming  together, The fishermen on the cold sea can treat whales well. The peasants are collecting salt. Looking at their cracked palms Those people are preparing for a green war. A gas and oil war, and a firework war, Despite a triumph, there is no survivor Put on a clean garment, take a walk side by side With ur brother under the tree, leisurely and carefree. My aspiration should not be confused with the useless idleness; Life matters in itself above all I do not want anything to do with death anyway; If we fail to agree Let our lives by fully dynamic If we nothing for once Perhaps a tremendous silence Will break the sorrow The nature of ourselves is unknown As well as the menace of death Perhaps the Earth is instructing us Everything remains alive while seemingly dying. Now I will count to twelve U keep silent, and I will leave. Angela Liu

I recently returned from India, where I visited local mine owners. The main purpose of my visit was to purchase Black Galaxy granite required by the Chinese National Enterprise for a bank construction project in Ethiopia. Galaxy granite mine owners and manufacturers. After some negotiations, we confirmed the quality and payment conditions, and reached a preliminary agreement. Although Indian stone processing companies have a lot of good equipment in great conditions, in my opinion, the overall environment in China is at a different level. As a Stone Enterprise, we deeply think about the uprise of Big Data companies on the Internet. What is the competitiveness of a company? In the past, physical goods were the mainstream, but as the Digital Age approached, the individual consumers' demand has changed. And we strongly believe that it will lead to the demand diversification for natural stone, such as natural marble and granite, as well. We are sure that such demand diversification will bring us more possibilities, and online presence is a new kind of competitiveness in addition to price and quality.
