Giallo Santo is quarried from a bedrock quarry located in the northern part of
Espirito Santo, Brazil. It is one of the larger quarries, producing more than
one hundred truckloads per month. The structure is fairly consistent on each
shipment but may have some variation in movement and veining. During the
polishing process, an epoxy resin is applied to the surface of the slab to fill
in any natural pits, cracks or fissures that may exist in the stone. This does
not affect the durability, maintenance or beauty of the slab. It is possible for
some of the more minute pits that are too small to effectively hold the resin,
to reopen during other finishing stages. However, this will not detract from the
overall quality or appearance of the stone.
