The stone

Ivory white, fine grained, easy to work

Gwalior Mint is a light, ivory-white sandstone with a fine, even grain. It takes a smooth honed finish for interiors and facades, and textured finishes for paving.

Because the grain is tight and consistent, it cuts cleanly, which makes it a good stone for CNC work, carving, mouldings and large cladding panels as well as everyday paving.

Brand name: Fort White

Carving and CNC

Made for carving

Gwalior Mint has a tight, even grain with no large pores or veins, so fine detail holds its shape. That is why it is chosen for carved doors and panels, jali screens and ornamental work, by hand or on CNC machines.

Send us a drawing or a reference photo. We cut the stone to your design, from a single carved panel to repeat pieces for a whole facade.
