Editorial
Standards
How we research, review, and correct the content we publish.
What we check
Every article is fact-checked and reviewed by team members with relevant industry credentials, before and after publication.
Claims reflect real-world stone behaviour — not repeated assumptions.
Material is correctly identified, in an industry where stone is frequently mislabelled.
Studies and statistics are relevant, correctly applied, and properly sourced.
New products, geological practices, and technical topics are described clearly and without bias.
Each article carries the background a reader needs to understand the topic.
Zero tolerance for plagiarism and for content written to mislead.
How we source and validate
Our information has a hierarchy. It begins on the factory floor, not in a search result.
How an article is verified
We don't ask readers to take a claim on trust when it can be checked.
Where possible, each article discloses and links its external sources — research papers, recognised industry references, and authoritative websites — so readers can check the basis for what we've written.
Our own trade credentials, stated across the site, can likewise be independently verified through public records, including the relevant departments of the Government of India.
We favour verifiable, citable claims over invented precision. Where we don't have a confirmed figure, we say so rather than fabricate one.
Independence and commercial interests
We sell the materials we write about. We'd rather state that plainly than have you wonder about it.
That commercial interest doesn't change how we describe the material.
Our educational content aims to be accurate about each stone's strengths and its limitations — including where a stone is the wrong choice for an application, or where a different material would serve a buyer better. The reason is practical: a misinformed buyer becomes a returned order, a failed installation, or a relationship that doesn't last. Accurate information protects the customer and us at the same time.
Where a material has drawbacks — staining, etching, maintenance demands, suitability limits — we say so. Our product pages and our educational content are held to the same standard of accuracy.
How corrections are handled
Every revision is logged and visible.
Each article page includes a revision history showing when and why content was updated.
We also welcome feedback and corrections directly from readers. When a reader's input leads us to change or correct content, we update the article and note the change in its revision history.
At the end of every article, we invite contributions from across the trade to flag anything missing or inaccurate:
