Who does Coffee Wood Marble sell to?

We supply importers, stone distributors, fabricators, quarries and project developers who buy Coffee Wood Marble in slabs, tiles or cut-to-size pieces. We work on the China side: the stone is bought from the mine, processed in Shuitou or Yunfu, inspected before loading and shipped FOB.

What is the minimum order quantity?

One mixed container for a first order. There is no per-piece minimum, and slab quantities can be split across a book-matched pair or an offcut depending on the job.

What thickness and finish are available?

Slabs are typically 18 mm and 20 mm, with 15 mm and 30 mm available. Common finishes are honed, polished, flamed, brushed, sandblasted and leathered. Tiles are produced in standard and large formats.

How long does production take?

Seven to fifteen working days after the deposit, depending on the form and finish. Cutting, edge profiling and surface treatment are the steps that set the pace, not the stone itself.

Which ports do you ship from?

Xiamen, Quanzhou, Ningbo and Shanghai. We quote FOB to the port you nominate and compare forwarders before booking.

Do you publish a price list?

No. Natural stone moves with the block, the grade, the finish and the market, so a number printed on a website is out of date by the time it is read. Send us the form, thickness, finish, size and quantity and we quote FOB in writing against that specification.

Can we get a sample before ordering?

Yes. We cut a sample from the same block as your order - an A4 hand sample, a book-matched pair or an offcut - and ship it by courier. There is no obligation to order afterwards.

Answers / Decisions

How does Coffee Wood Marble compare to quartzite?

Quartzite resists acid and does not etch; marble is calcitic and does. That single difference decides kitchens, bathrooms and bar tops. For walls and floors in a dry corridor the figure and the finish decide it, and the marble wins on both.

Three polished stone slabs standing upright in timber frames, wrapped in clear plastic, side by side in a workshop. The faces are a flat grey-brown with fine straight parallel lines running across them, and the overhead lights reflect in long streaks along the polish. — Three slabs standing side by side. The straight parallel figure is what separates this stone from the dramatic veined marbles.

Application image, a design render rather than a photograph. A reception floor with a full-height stone backdrop behind the desk, the counter itself in the same stone, and concealed lighting washing down the wall from above. — The reception at the Qingyi River Hotel, where this stone is the wall behind the desk.

Reference photographs. They show the material and the finish; they are not photographs of goods we made, and the colour on screen is not a colour-match.

The figures, and where each one comes from

	Coffee Wood Marble	Quartzite
Acid	Etches	Resists most kitchen acids
Hardness	Mohs about 3	Mohs 7 or above
Figure	Straight parallel lines in three boards	Variable, and no three boards alike
Sealing	Periodic impregnating sealer	Usually not required
Price	Wholesale, by the container	Wholesale, and often more

Why it behaves the way it does

A knife dulls on marble and not on quartzite, and that difference is the whole of the argument. Quartzite is the harder stone; marble is the one with the figure and the warmth, and for a vertical surface that is the trade being made.

What these figures are, and what they are not

We supply marble. We do not supply quartzite, and this is not a comparison of our product against another supplier's.
