From the Quarry to Your Kitchen: How Armina Stone Brings the World’s Finest Materials Home
By Kelli Rau
Armina Stone
At Armina Stone, we believe your countertops should tell a story—one that begins in the hills of Brazil, the mountains of Italy, and the quarries of Turkey, and ends in your kitchen or bath. Whether you’re seeking custom quartz countertop installation in Pittsburgh, PA, or are exploring new ways to elevate your home’s interior, our team curates every slab with care, craftsmanship, and a global perspective.
Hand-Selected Stones from Around the World
Our founder and CEO, Emre Basman, travels the globe to source extraordinary materials that meet the highest standards of beauty and durability. From the rich quartzites of Brazil to the timeless marbles of Carrara, Italy, we go directly to the source—building long-standing relationships with quarry owners and inspecting every block before it ever reaches our showroom floor.
This hands-on approach ensures every piece we offer—whether it’s granite from Spain or marble in Pittsburgh, PA—meets not only global design trends but also the needs and styles of our local markets.
Designing for Pittsburgh and Beyond
We’ve noticed a shift happening across Western Pennsylvania. While classic styles remain popular, more homeowners are embracing bold, expressive stone—particularly granite countertop installations in Cranberry Township and quartz countertop installation in Robinson, PA. Whether it’s a striking bookmatched wall, a sculptural kitchen island, or a fireplace that serves as a true centerpiece, the demand for unique natural materials is on the rise.
Meanwhile, our expansion to Florida has revealed entirely different design preferences. In Miami, vibrant colors, dramatic veining, and exotic marbles reflect the city’s dynamic style. That regional awareness helps us select the right inventory for every showroom and every client.
Not Just Stone—A Full-Service Design Experience
Choosing Armina Stone means more than picking out a slab. It’s working with an experienced team that understands installation, design, and lifestyle. From helping you visualize a granite countertop in Pittsburgh to managing every step of your quartz counter installation in Cranberry, PA, our experts make the process seamless.
We’re proud to support homeowners, interior designers, and builders with full-service fabrication and installation, right here in Pennsylvania. Our fabrication facility is among the most advanced in the region, which means we can ensure quality at every stage—from sourcing to the final polish.
Every Slab Has a Story
Behind every countertop is a journey that starts far from home and ends with a space that reflects your taste, your life, and your goals. Whether you’re updating your kitchen, designing a spa-like bath, or creating a showstopping feature wall, we’re here to bring your vision to life—one expertly selected slab at a time.
