Marble and onyx, cut at the source, shipped to your project.
Pakistan Marble & Onyx quarries, cuts, finishes, and exports natural stone directly to architects, contractors, hoteliers, and distributors in 20+ countries. Over 25 years and 100+ marble and onyx varieties later, every slab that leaves our factory has already passed through our own hands, from block to crate — no trading middlemen, no guesswork on quality.
Why Pakistan, and why us
Pakistan sits on some of the most geologically distinctive marble and onyx deposits in the world, concentrated through Balochistan and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. The quarries around Ziarat and the wider northwestern belt produce stone with mineral purity, veining, and translucency that rival material from far more famous sourcing regions — the bright, low-vein whiteness of Ziarat marble and the fine banding of Pakistani onyx are the direct result of this geology.
For decades, most of this stone left the country as raw blocks, processed and finished elsewhere, with the value captured by overseas buyers rather than by Pakistani producers. Pakistan Marble & Onyx was built to change that: quarrying, cutting, polishing, and fabrication all under one roof, inside Pakistan, so the full value of the stone — and the savings from removing layers of middlemen — passes directly to the architects, contractors, and distributors who use it.
When you order from us, you’re buying from the source — not paying a trading company’s markup stacked on a factory’s markup stacked on a quarry’s price.
That structure took real investment to build — in cutting and polishing equipment, in fabrication capability for finished furniture and fixtures, and in the export logistics knowledge needed to ship stone reliably to construction sites on the other side of the world. It’s also why, over 25 years, we’ve been able to take on both a single custom marble fountain for a private villa and a multi-container flooring order for a hotel chain, without either kind of project feeling like an afterthought to the business.
What actually gives the stone its character
Pakistan’s marble and onyx belt formed through tectonic activity that produced metamorphic and sedimentary formations with unusually pure calcium carbonate content in certain seams — the geological reason Ziarat marble achieves such bright, low-vein whiteness compared to marble from more heavily mineral-mixed deposits elsewhere. The onyx-bearing formations nearby formed through mineral deposition in limestone cave and spring systems, a slower process that produces the fine banding and translucency onyx is prized for.
This matters practically, not just academically: it’s why certain quarries reliably produce certain colors and grain structures, and why we maintain long-term relationships with specific quarry partners rather than buying opportunistically. Consistency starts at the geological level, long before a block ever reaches our factory.
Buyers unfamiliar with Pakistani stone often ask how it compares to material sourced from Italy, Turkey, Iran, or Vietnam. On onyx, Pakistani green and honey varieties are widely regarded by fabricators as comparable in banding and translucency to Iranian and Mexican onyx, often at a more competitive landed price once factory-direct sourcing removes trading markups. On white marble, Ziarat white offers a genuinely bright, low-vein alternative to Italian Carrara-family marbles at a significantly lower cost per square metre — a meaningful difference on large-volume flooring and cladding projects where budget per square metre is a hard project constraint. Black & gold marble has become one of Pakistan’s signature exports specifically because it offers a dramatic, high-contrast look that’s difficult to source at comparable pricing elsewhere. We’re happy to provide side-by-side samples against material you may already be considering from other origin countries, so your design and procurement teams can make an informed comparison before committing to a full order.
100+ marble and onyx varieties, cut and finished in-house
From raw block to finished furniture, every stage happens inside our own facility — which is what lets us hold to the colour, finish, and delivery specifications real projects depend on. We supply raw material for buyers who run their own processing, and fully finished, installation-ready product for those who’d rather not manage fabrication themselves. Either way, the same quarry sourcing and quality inspection stands behind it.
Slabs & Blocks
Ziarat white, black & gold, and Botticino/Calacatta-style Pakistani marbles — supplied as quarry blocks for buyers running their own processing, or as polished, honed, or leathered slabs ready for direct installation, in standard or custom thickness.
Slabs, Backlit-Grade
Green, pink, honey, white, and blue onyx, checked for translucency and banding consistency before approval for backlit reception desks, bars, and feature walls — the applications where onyx quality is most visible and least forgiving.
Tiles, Pavers & Cladding
Weather-resistant formats for facades, pool decks, and courtyards — a favourite of landscape architects working on exterior projects where durability under sun, rain, and temperature swings matters as much as appearance.
Sinks, Fountains, Furniture
Marble sinks, fountains, benches, coffee & dining tables, planters, flower pots, tiles, vanity tops, and countertops — available as stock designs or fully custom pieces built to a designer’s specification.
Marble, onyx, travertine, and sandstone — what’s the real difference?
Buyers new to natural stone sourcing often ask us to explain the practical differences between the materials we supply, since the terms get used loosely in the design world. Here’s a plain-language breakdown.
Marble is a metamorphic rock formed from recrystallised limestone, prized for its veining and ability to take a high polish. It’s the standard choice for flooring, wall cladding, and monumental architecture where a bright, classic stone look is required.
Onyx is technically a form of banded calcite or aragonite, formed through mineral deposition rather than the tectonic pressure that creates marble. Its defining trait is translucency — light can pass through a properly cut onyx slab, which is why it’s the material of choice for backlit features, bar tops, and statement lighting installations that marble simply can’t achieve.
Travertine is a sedimentary rock formed from mineral springs, typically more porous than marble, with a naturally pitted texture that’s often filled and honed for a smoother finish. It performs well in both interior flooring and exterior applications thanks to its durability under weather exposure.
Sandstone is a sedimentary rock composed of compacted sand grains, valued for its warm, textured appearance and strong performance in exterior cladding, paving, and landscaping applications where a more rustic, natural look is desired over the polish of marble.
Understanding these distinctions helps when specifying material for a particular application — polished marble for a lobby floor, backlit onyx for a feature wall, travertine for a pool deck, sandstone for an exterior facade — rather than treating “natural stone” as a single interchangeable category.
Two stones that define our export catalogue
Ziarat White Marble
Quarried in the Ziarat region of Balochistan, this is Pakistan’s flagship white marble — bright, fine-grained, and notably low in the heavy veining that runs through many other white marbles. That purity comes from the region’s unusually clean calcium carbonate deposits, which is also why Ziarat marble takes a mirror polish so evenly across large surfaces.
It’s the material of choice for buyers who want the look of a premium white marble — for flooring, wall cladding, monumental architecture, and government or religious buildings — at a landed cost meaningfully lower than comparable Italian marble, without sacrificing the brightness or polish quality that makes white marble a signature architectural material.
Green & Honey Onyx
Our green and honey onyx are cut specifically with backlit applications in mind — each slab checked for even translucency and clean banding before it’s approved for export. Green onyx delivers deep, richly layered tones that read as a genuine feature material rather than a background surface, while honey onyx offers the warm amber glow that has made it one of the most requested colours for lit bar tops and reception walls internationally.
Because onyx slabs vary naturally in banding and light transmission even within the same block, we select and grade each slab individually for backlit use rather than shipping an entire block’s output as uniform stock — the difference between an onyx wall that glows evenly and one with visible dark patches under lighting comes down to exactly this stage of selection.
Black & Gold Marble
This high-contrast marble has become one of Pakistan’s signature exports specifically because it offers a dramatic, veined look that’s genuinely difficult to source at comparable pricing from other origin countries. Deep black background with bold, gold-toned veining running through it makes this a natural fit for statement applications — hotel reception desks, feature walls, luxury bathroom surrounds — where the goal is a memorable first impression rather than a neutral backdrop.
Because the contrast between the black field and gold veining is the whole point of this material, we’re particularly careful about matching slabs on continuous surfaces for this stone, since a mismatch here is far more visible than it would be on a more subtly veined marble.
Built for the buyers who specify and move real volume
Architects & Interior Designers
You typically need precise colour and veining consistency across large quantities, plus confidence that what arrives on site matches the sample or rendering used in the design proposal. We support this with batch-matched slab selection, detailed photography of actual slabs before shipment, and the option to reserve specific slabs from a single block where visual continuity across a large surface matters.
Hotels & Hospitality
Hospitality projects often combine dramatic feature materials — a backlit onyx bar, a black & gold reception desk — alongside large-volume standard flooring. We supply both from a single source, simplifying procurement against tight fit-out schedules.
Villas & Luxury Homes
For private villa projects, especially across the Gulf and Southeast Asia, we supply everything from flooring and cladding to fully custom marble furniture — sinks, fountains, dining tables, and planters — matched to a single interior concept.
Contractors & Developers
Contractors managing large-scale commercial builds need dependable bulk supply on a schedule that matches construction phasing. Our factory capacity and container-based export process are built around exactly this kind of volume and timeline commitment.
Importers, Wholesalers & Distributors
We act as a factory-direct supply partner — offering the pricing structure, bulk availability, and consistent quality control that let you build a dependable supply chain around Pakistani stone without managing quarry and factory relationships yourself.
Fabricators & Retail Dealers
Fabricators sourcing raw slabs or blocks for their own cutting operations work with us directly on block selection and rough-cut supply, with pre-finished slabs available if you’d rather focus purely on installation-stage work.
Government & Institutional Projects
Government buildings, airports, mosques, and malls typically require enormous consistent-quality volumes along with full compliance documentation for import and construction certification — which we manage end to end.
Landscape Architects
For outdoor projects, you’ll work with our travertine, sandstone, and marble planters and benches — natural stone suited to courtyards, pool surrounds, and public landscaping that has to hold up under weather exposure.
Direct sourcing, not a trading arrangement
Factory-direct pricing. We control quarrying and processing ourselves, removing the markups that come with third-party trading.
25+ years of consistent quality control. Every block and slab is checked for colour match, cracking, and finish standards before export approval.
Export experience across 20+ countries. We manage documentation, container loading, and worldwide shipping logistics end to end.
Custom capability. Cut-to-size slabs and fully bespoke marble furniture, built to architectural drawings.
Direct communication. You work with our export team directly — never a broker.
Material depth. Direct quarry relationships let us source larger, more consistent lots across 100+ marble and onyx varieties than a reseller working from whatever inventory happens to be available at any given time.
What “quality checked” actually means
Natural stone is not a manufactured, uniform product — each block carries its own grain, mineral inclusions, and structural quirks, which is exactly what gives marble and onyx their character. But for professional buyers, that natural variation has to be managed, not left to chance. Our quality process focuses on three things.
Color and veining consistency. For large orders — a hotel lobby floor, a mall facade — visual consistency across dozens or hundreds of slabs matters more than any single slab’s individual beauty. Where possible, we supply sequential slabs from the same block for large continuous surfaces, so veining flows naturally rather than jumping between visibly different lots.
Structural integrity. Every slab is checked for hairline cracks, weak veining points, and lamination risk before approval. Stone that shows structural weakness is downgraded rather than shipped as premium material, protecting buyers from breakage losses during installation.
Finish accuracy. Whether a project calls for a mirror polish, a matte honed finish, or a textured leathered finish, we verify finish consistency across the full batch before packing — an uneven finish is one of the most common complaints in international stone shipments, and one of the easiest to prevent with proper inspection.
From quarry to container
Sourcing
Blocks are selected directly from partner quarries known for the specific marble, onyx, or travertine variety required. Our sourcing team inspects blocks on-site for grain structure, crack risk, and colour grade before purchase.
Processing
Blocks are cut into slabs or tiles at our factory, with polishing, honing, or leathering applied based on the project’s finish requirements. Cutting is calibrated to minimise waste and maximise usable slab yield per block.
Quality Inspection
Each batch is checked for colour consistency, veining match, structural soundness, and — for onyx — translucency under backlighting. Anything below grade is set aside for lower-tier commercial use rather than shipped as premium stock.
Custom Fabrication
For cut-to-size orders or finished products — sinks, tables, countertops — our craftsmen complete fabrication to the buyer’s specifications, working from architectural drawings where provided.
Packing & Crating
Slabs and finished products are crated using export-standard packing methods designed to prevent breakage and moisture damage during long sea freight journeys.
Export & Logistics
We handle documentation, container loading, and coordination with freight forwarders to ensure on-time delivery, along with the customs and certification paperwork different destination markets require.
Sizes, thicknesses & container planning
Buyers new to importing stone from Pakistan often need clarity on the practical logistics of an order before committing. While every order can be adjusted to project specification, here’s a general sense of what’s standard.
Slab sizes. Marble and onyx slabs are typically supplied in standard gang-saw dimensions, sized to suit flooring, cladding, and countertop fabrication. Custom slab sizes can be cut for buyers with specific installation-grid requirements, and we can advise on the most efficient slab size for a given layout to minimise offcut waste on site.
Thicknesses. Standard slab thickness for flooring and wall cladding is typically lighter than the thickness used for countertops, benches, and structural furniture pieces, which are cut heavier to support load and reduce cracking risk. We can advise on the appropriate thickness for a given application before you finalise an order.
Tile formats. Marble and travertine tiles are available in standard architectural tile sizes for flooring and wall applications, with custom sizes available for large orders where a specific module or grid pattern is part of the design.
Block dimensions. For fabricators and processors who prefer to cut their own slabs, we supply blocks in standard quarry-block dimensions, selected and graded before sale so you know exactly what you’re receiving before it ships.
Container capacity. Export orders are typically organised around standard shipping container capacity, and our logistics team can advise on how many square metres of a given material and thickness fit efficiently into a single container to optimise freight cost per square metre — an important consideration when comparing landed cost against other origin countries.
Export considerations across 20+ countries
We export to buyers across a wide range of destination markets, and each region tends to bring its own practical considerations for lead times, container scheduling, and documentation.
Middle East & Gulf
One of our largest markets, driven by ongoing hospitality, villa, and government construction activity. Buyers here often move quickly from sample approval to bulk order, and we structure logistics to support fast container turnaround.
Europe
European buyers — architects, distributors, and renovation contractors — often specify Pakistani stone as a cost-effective alternative to Italian or other European-quarried marble, particularly for large-volume flooring and cladding.
North America
Distributors and fabricators in the US and Canada frequently source Pakistani onyx specifically for feature and backlit applications, alongside marble for residential and commercial projects.
Asia & Southeast Asia
Hospitality and villa developments across this region are a strong market for both marble flooring and finished products like fountains, benches, and planters for outdoor and landscaped areas.
Africa
Government and commercial construction projects in several African markets have become a growing export destination for bulk marble and travertine supply.
A straightforward process for first-time buyers
For buyers who haven’t sourced stone directly from a Pakistani factory before, our process is designed to be straightforward. Share your project type, required material, approximate volume, and destination country. We respond with sample photography or physical samples alongside factory-direct pricing. Once you approve a sample and price, we confirm slab or block selection, finish specifications, and any custom fabrication requirements. Your order then moves through cutting, finishing, and quality inspection, with photography provided before packing for final sign-off on larger orders. From there we handle documentation, container loading, and delivery coordination through to your destination port or delivery point — with one export contact throughout the process, not a rotating cast of intermediaries passing your order between departments.
What we’re seeing across current projects
Working across hospitality, residential, and commercial projects internationally gives us a useful vantage point on where marble and onyx design is heading — worth sharing with architects and designers planning ahead.
Backlit onyx as the statement
Where onyx was once used sparingly as a small accent detail, more projects are committing to full backlit walls as the central design statement of a space — reception desks, bar fronts, entire feature walls lit from behind rather than small inset panels.
Bookmatched slabs
Bookmatching — mirroring two adjacent slabs cut from the same block to create a symmetrical veining pattern — continues to grow in popularity for both marble and onyx feature walls, and requires careful block-level planning at the sourcing stage.
Warm & cool tone pairing
Alongside classic white marble, warmer-toned marbles and travertine are increasingly paired within the same project to create tonal depth rather than relying on a single stone type throughout.
Larger-format slabs
Architects are increasingly requesting the largest practical slab format available to minimise visible grout lines and seams across large surfaces, which we account for during block selection and cutting.
Sourcing transparency
More international buyers are asking directly about quarry practices and waste management as part of procurement due diligence, reflecting a broader shift toward responsible sourcing expectations industry-wide.
Common project types we supply
Hotel lobbies & reception
Black & gold marble flooring paired with a backlit green or honey onyx reception desk is one of our most requested combinations for five-star hospitality projects.

Courtyards & landscaping
Travertine pavers, benches, planters, and fountains specified together for resort courtyards and residential outdoor living spaces.
Airport terminals
Durable, large-volume marble or travertine flooring with strict consistency requirements across very large public surface areas.
Built for repeat buyers, not just one order
Many of our relationships with architects, distributors, and contractors extend across multiple projects rather than a single transaction. For repeat buyers, this typically means faster turnaround on subsequent orders, since we already understand the specific stone varieties, finishes, and quality standards you work with. Distributors in particular often set up a standing supply arrangement with us, maintaining consistent stock levels of specific marble and onyx varieties without renegotiating terms for every shipment.
If you’re evaluating suppliers for an ongoing project pipeline rather than a one-off order, it’s worth discussing volume-based pricing and scheduled shipment arrangements directly with our export team — long-term arrangements often unlock pricing and priority production slots not available on single-order terms.
Guidance we share with project teams
Architects and contractors specifying our stone are often asked by clients how to maintain it long-term. Marble and onyx are calcium-based and sensitive to acidic cleaners — pH-neutral products are recommended for daily care. Periodic sealing protects polished surfaces from staining, particularly on kitchen and bar tops. This applies just as much to onyx vanity sinks and countertops, like the multi green onyx vanity shown here, where sealing protects the surface from everyday bathroom moisture and toiletries without dulling the stone’s natural translucency. Backlit onyx should be installed with consistent lighting across the full panel, since uneven light can exaggerate natural banding more than intended. Travertine and sandstone in exterior applications benefit from periodic resealing given ongoing weather exposure. We’re glad to provide more detailed, material-specific maintenance documentation for architects to pass along to end clients or facilities management teams.
Sustainability in a resource-intensive industry
Quarrying is inherently resource-intensive, and we take seriously the responsibility that comes with extracting a non-renewable material. Our sourcing practices prioritise maximising usable yield per block to minimise waste, and offcuts and lower-grade material are redirected into smaller finished products — planters, tiles, garden pieces — rather than discarded. We work only with quarry partners operating under Pakistan’s mining regulations, and we continue looking for ways to reduce waste and improve efficiency across our cutting and finishing processes.
Sourcing, production, and logistics under one operation
Our sourcing staff maintain the on-the-ground quarry relationships that keep material flowing consistently rather than opportunistically. Our factory floor houses cutting, polishing, and fabrication equipment capable of handling both large-volume slab production and detailed custom furniture work. Our quality and export coordination team manages inspection, documentation, and shipping — turning a finished slab into a container safely on its way to your destination port.
This structure is what lets us take on large industrial flooring orders and highly detailed custom fabrication without either side of the business compromising the other. Rather than a single generalist operation trying to do everything at once, each function — sourcing, production, quality, and export — operates with its own focus while staying tightly coordinated, so a large flooring order and a bespoke furniture commission can move through the factory in parallel without either slipping on quality or timeline.
Our commitment going forward
As demand for natural stone continues to grow across hospitality, residential, and commercial construction worldwide, our focus stays on the fundamentals that built this business over 25+ years: direct quarry sourcing, in-house processing and fabrication, careful quality control, and export logistics that respect project deadlines. We continue investing in custom fabrication capability, so architects and designers can increasingly treat Pakistani marble and onyx not just as a raw material source, but as a full production partner delivering finished, project-ready stone products.
Whether you’re specifying material for a single boutique project or building a long-term supply chain for an ongoing pipeline of developments, our team is set up to support both — with the same direct, factory-level access to pricing, quality, and product range either way.
