Quarrying & Production

Comparison with Sylvia Minya

Sunny Minya and Sylvia Minya are extracted from the same quarry. However, Sylvia Minya is distinguished by its ruler-straight, consistent veining, making it pricier. Interestingly, cutting Sylvia Minya blocks against the grain can produce slabs with the exquisite appearance of Sunny Minya.
