At Advent Design a large percentage of our time is dedicated to international travel in pursuit of great blocks of stone.  We must constantly be traveling the world to ensure that every quarry is up to our standards.

Creating a solid stone soaking custom bath masterpiece requires the knowledge and wisdom from many years experience, especially for making custom stone baths.  Some stone used for Advent custom stone baths, stone tubs and stone basins comes from Tuscany, Italy.  Some Advent custom stone baths are made from stone which is excavated from the mountains of Carrara, Italy.  Sometimes we must go where the desert meets the mountains in Turkey to select the right kind of stone.  The stone must have natural characteristics suitable for carving.  These characteristics must include natural crystallization; a particular degree of mohs hardness; a relatively low porosity and a mineral content that when analyzed reveals that the 7 or 8 ton block which we excavate will withstand the 300 to 400 hundred hours needed to chisel and refine into a truly magnificent and aesthetically beautiful custom stone bath by Advent Design.
