Every Ishatva piece begins with the right stone. We source each material with the same care and intention that goes into the craft itself, directly from the quarries of Rajasthan, Gujarat, Portugal, and beyond.
Quarried from the ancient bedrock of Rajasthan, our sandstones carry centuries of sun and earth within their grain. Warm to the touch and rich in character, sandstone is the soul of Indian sacred architecture.
Deep terracotta red with warm ochre veining
One of India's most iconic building stones, used in the construction of the Red Fort and numerous heritage monuments. Its deep terracotta hue deepens with age, acquiring a rich, burnished character that makes it ideal for heritage and traditional spaces.
Soft dusty rose with cream undertones
A refined cousin of the red, Dholpur Pink offers a gentler, more feminine warmth. Its blush tones sit beautifully against white marble inlays and carved jali work, making it a favourite for bespoke Mandirs and sacred spaces where colour must feel luminous, not heavy.
Warm wheat-beige with subtle grey tones
The most versatile of the Dholpur family, a stone that speaks softly and works in almost any context. Its neutral, warm-beige palette bridges traditional and contemporary aesthetics, making it equally at home in a modern courtyard or a classically carved water feature.
Warm rose pink with subtle reddish undertones
One of India's most distinguished pink sandstone varieties, known for its warm rose colour and strong association with monumental, heritage and temple architecture. Bansi Paharpur combines visual softness with a powerful material presence — its ability to hold architectural and carved detail with precision makes it irreplaceable in sacred and heritage design.
Cool near-white with faint mint-green cast
A rare, luminous sandstone with an almost ethereal quality: near-white in tone with a very faint cool green cast. Mint White brings lightness and clarity to any space. Its clean surface takes fine carving beautifully, making it a preferred choice for minimal and contemporary sacred pieces.
Beige / Brown / Teak
Named for its uncanny resemblance to aged teak wood, Khatu Teak Sandstone carries deep brown and amber banding across its surface. It brings an organic warmth that pairs naturally with timber and bronze, ideal for projects that seek the richness of wood with the permanence of stone.
Multicolour
A truly extraordinary stone. Each slab of Rainbow Sandstone is a unique composition of stacked geological time: layers of red, pink, cream, grey, and buff running in dramatic horizontal bands. No two pieces are alike. Chosen for feature walls, monumental pieces, and anywhere a stone must hold its own as a work of art.
Marble has been the language of sacred and luxury spaces for millennia, from Makrana quarries that built the Taj Mahal to the white hills of Vietnam. Each marble we work with is sourced for its character and chosen for its purpose.
Soft White / Off-White / Warm White
A fine-grained white marble from southern Rajasthan, Banswara White is prized for its consistent colour and smooth surface. It responds beautifully to hand carving, making it a preferred marble for sacred idols, prayer niches, and intricate Mandir work where detail must read clearly against a clean background.
Bright White / Milky White
Imported from the mountains of northern Vietnam, this marble has a luminous, almost translucent quality that makes polished surfaces glow with an inner light. Cooler and more contemporary in feel than Indian marbles, it brings an international luxury aesthetic to modern sacred and residential spaces.
Black / Deep Charcoal
A dramatic, statement marble. Deep black with fine veins of white and gold running through its surface like rivers on a dark sky. Marine Black is the material of choice for bold, contemporary pieces: fireplace surrounds, monolithic sculptures, and luxury architectural features where contrast and impact are essential.
Golden Yellow / Honey / Sand
Technically a limestone-marble hybrid, Jaisalmer Yellow is one of India's most storied building stones, the same material from which the golden city of Jaisalmer was built. Its warm, honeyed tone and fossilised surface patterns give it a sun-soaked warmth that transforms any space it touches.
White / Cream / Gold
Ita Gold carries the warmth of golden hour in its grain: amber veins flow across a honey-gold base, creating a surface that seems to radiate light. A premium choice for luxury interiors where warmth, richness, and natural drama are all required in equal measure.
Green
A rare and striking marble from Gujarat, Baroda Green commands attention with its deep, forest-toned surface threaded with veins of white and black. It brings a richness and vibrancy to any piece it forms, a stone for those who want their space to feel alive with colour and energy.
White / Milky White / Light Grey
Quarried near the sacred town of Ambaji, this white marble holds a particular significance: it is considered auspicious in the Hindu tradition and is widely used in temple construction across India. Its crystalline purity and minimal veining make it ideal for sacred idols and Mandir installations where the stone itself becomes part of the offering.
White / Soft Ivory
Agariya White Marble is a Rajasthan white marble valued for its relatively even appearance and fine visual texture. It offers a clean white surface without the intense brilliance or premium heritage positioning associated with Makrana, making it a versatile choice for contemporary architectural applications.
Pure White / Ivory White
Makrana White Marble is one of India's most historically significant natural stones. Quarried in Makrana, Rajasthan, it is internationally recognised for its purity, dense crystalline structure and exceptional architectural legacy. For Ishatva, Makrana White represents permanence, purity and the highest expression of Indian stone craftsmanship.
Limestone speaks in quiet tones: a stone of aged elegance, muted warmth, and timeless restraint. We work with one exceptional limestone, chosen for its Mediterranean character and its rare ability to look more beautiful with every passing year.
Cream / Beige / Soft Sand
Moca Crema Limestone is one of Portugal's best-known natural limestones and is recognised for its warm cream colour, relatively uniform background and refined natural grain. Its understated appearance allows architecture to take centre stage. For Ishatva, Moca Crema represents quiet luxury—warm, natural and sophisticated without being visually excessive.
Formed in the cooling of volcanic lava, basalt carries within it the memory of fire. It is the darkest, densest stone we work with: deeply grounding, intensely tactile, and unlike anything else in our palette.
Deep Grey / Charcoal / Black
Sourced from the ancient volcanic plains of the Deccan Plateau, our basalt is a dense, near-black stone with a strikingly fine and even grain. For Ishatva, Basalt represents material strength in its simplest form—solid, quiet and uncompromisingly modern.
