The variety of materials sourced from stone quarries depends significantly on the geological characteristics of the region. Commonly quarried stones include granite, limestone, marble, onyx and travertine, selected for their strength, durability, and visual appeal in diverse architectural and structural applications.

Marble Quarry
Marble is a highly sought-after product globally, and Iran is home to numerous marble quarry sites. MGT has developed its own marble quarries to ensure a steady supply of diverse, high-quality natural stone products for our clients. Here are the categories of marble quarries operated by MGT:
White Marble Quarries
MGT White Marble Quarries encompass two distinct types of exquisite Persian White Marble.
One prominent quarry managed by MGT is the Persian Carrara marble quarry, which is renowned for its high-quality marble that competes with the famed Italian Carrara. This quarry has become a pivotal production hub for MGT, producing white marble blocks and slabs that are in high demand internationally.
Another significant quarry operated by MGT is the Cloud Pure White Marble quarry. Known as one of the oldest and most esteemed stone mines in Iran, this quarry is considered among the region's most valuable marble sources.

Black Marble Quarry
Black Marble is a significant player in global stone industry trends, and MGT Stone Co. operates a Black Marble Quarry in Khomein city, located in Markazi Province of Iran. The Royal Black Marble Quarry operates for about nine months each year due to the region's warm weather conditions. Fresh blocks of Royal Black Marble are sold either individually or in batches, catering to both export demands and domestic production needs. Currently, this stone is among the most sought-after types of Persian Black Marble.
Travertine Quarries
Iran is well-endowed with Travertine quarries. The process of quarrying travertine involves the use of heavy machinery to extract large stone blocks from the earth. These blocks are subsequently cut into smaller slabs or tiles, which are then utilized in various construction projects. The MGT Travertine quarries include:

Onyx Quarries
Onyx quarries are found around the globe, and those in Iran are particularly renowned for their diverse color variations, each providing unique versions of the stone with distinct colors and patterns. Onyx is a semi-precious stone celebrated for its vividly layered colors, ranging from white to nearly every other color, often in striking contrasting layers. The look of onyx can change dramatically based on the cut and the angle of the stone's natural banding.
Onyx has been treasured as a decorative stone for centuries, frequently used in carvings and architectural features. Its translucence is particularly valued, making it ideal for backlit countertops and other decorative applications in interior design. The extraction process at onyx quarries is exceptionally careful due to the stone's relative softness and susceptibility to chipping and other damage. Therefore, quarrying onyx requires significant precision to maintain the quality of the extracted stone.
MGT Stone Company actively participates in onyx quarrying, particularly in its exclusive quarries located in the Azerbaijan Province of Iran. These quarries are noted for their exceptional onyx variants:
- Diana Smoky Onyx: This quarry marks MGT's first exclusive onyx quarry. The stone features stunning patterns achievable through both vein cut and cross cut techniques. Its rare and unique combination of white and dark grey colors has made Diana Smoky Onyx famous worldwide.
