Collins Tile and Stone

I really enjoyed the field trip to Collins Tile and Stone because I have never been out to a granite yard before. I thought it was really interesting to learn about the different types of granite available to designers and consumers. I also was interested in learning that there are a few very commons types of granite that are readily available and are able to be sold at a lower price. It was also very cool to actually be able to see pieces of stone being cut and polished or honed by the machines and men that operate them. It’s hard to imagine that kind of process and machinery without actually seeing it firsthand.
