Why Shillong buys its marble in Mumbai
Flora Marble's gallery is in the Main Marble Market on the Western Express Highway service road, Vile Parle East, Mumbai, near Hotel Sahara Star, open Monday to Saturday, 10 AM to 7 PM. From Shillong the practical way in is a flight to Mumbai: the gallery is 5 km from the airport, about 10 minutes by road. Stocked slabs stand there to be seen in person; catalogue stones are sourced to order and shown before you commit.
Most buyers from Shillong start with the drawings and the stone they have in mind: we quote against them, show the numbered slabs we propose, and nothing is cut until the lot is agreed. Every slab is cut, resin-treated and polished at our own factory in Athal, Silvassa, 2,600 km from Shillong by road, so the book-matched pair, the honed finish or the cut-to-size piece comes from the same block as the slab you chose.
Shillong: homes and shops
Shillong's hotels and the houses of Laitumkhrah and Nongthymmai order stone against drawings, crated at Silvassa and sent up by road through Guwahati.
For floors, Shillong mostly asks for a beige marble, Botticino, Ottoman or Spanish Cream, in one lot across the whole house. For the walls that matter, the living room, the island, the entrance hall, it asks for an Italian white. Outside and in the kitchen, granite in a leathered or polished finish does the hard work.
Delivery to Shillong
Slabs and cut-to-size pieces go by road freight from the factory at Athal, Silvassa, 2,600 km from Shillong, crated and strapped for the distance, and the date is confirmed with each order. Every slab is inspected, numbered and photographed before it is loaded, so what arrives can be checked against what was chosen.
Flora Marble supplies East Khasi Hills district and the rest of Meghalaya from Silvassa and Mumbai, and projects across India.
