For an art project, I need to find some granite blocks 30 x 30 - 50x 50 inches. 3 - 10 inch deep. 5 blocks of different colours (red, a lighter red, purple, white, black).

I'm from the Toronto area in Canada, Ontario. If anyone knows the pricing for some of this stuff (i never got to buy granite before), please let me know :)


I've been searching, and atm, only find US or China suppliers.
( i got 1 more day to find pricing >.<)


EDIT: $10 - 40 Canadian. per m^2, of 2 cm thickness Searched tile companies ^^.

Purity?
I'm not really sure =\… didn't spend enough time researching about how purity affects granite.

But property-wise, i'm looking for more resistant granite that can widthstand the Canadian weather, and able to some wear and tear from people walking on it.

contact a kitchen-top/counter-top place, preferably one that makes custom counters. They might be able to hook you up with block granite.
