Africa is the 2nd largest continent on earth, and one could argue that the stones of Africa are as varied as the landscape itself. 

​

The natural resources of Africa are plentiful and have made a big impact on the world. Gold, Diamonds, Platinum, and Vanadium are some of the elite resources that Africa is known for.

​

It only seems natural that stone should be included in this list.

While some of the stones quarried in Africa such as Black Impala have a very homogeneous pattern, many of the stones are an illustration of the vast and ever-changing landscape of sand, wind, water, and trees. The inherent colors are a reflection of the landscape, while the natural designs in the stones begin to tell a story of the region throughout history.
