Analysis of Stone Price Differences in China

Stones include cultural stone, marble, and granite. Cultural stone includes natural stone and artificial stone. Due to different colors, production techniques, and different textures, all kinds of stone materials have very different prices.

Cultural stone is used for indoor decoration. Cultural stone shapes are various, with different colors. They are mostly used for indoor decoration, such as decoration of indoor TV wall, embossing around wrought iron heating cover, or ground treatment in courtyard, decorative effect. Close to nature, reflecting the rustic decoration style. Artificial culture stone is made from natural culture stone after reprocessing, with lighter texture, non-toxic, mildew, and easy installation. It is suitable for local treatment of walls to reduce the bearing weight of the wall, and the price is also higher than natural culture. Shi Guigui, the brand produced by the joint venture manufacturers, the price is generally 300 yuan / box or more, if it is imported stone brand, the price will be higher, can reach 1,000 yuan / box or so. Natural stone prices are much cheaper, and prices are generally around 120 yuan to 130 yuan per square meter. Consumers can carry out targeted purchases based on their economic capabilities and needs.

The marble color determines the price Marble has always been favored by people for its solid texture and colorful colors. A consumer who buys marble said that the marble is strong, with many colors and a wide range of choices. It can be used with one or several different colors, with good decorative effect and a sense of luxury. At the same time, it is said that the selection of marble is a troublesome thing because the natural marble of the same color has a color difference, so when it comes to the purchase, it is necessary to select a block from the merchant to the warehouse. In order to avoid too much color, destroy the overall decorative effect.

The color of marble is also an important factor in determining prices. According to merchants, the marble with unique colors is less expensive due to less minerals. The price of marble with a color similar to the color of ore is generally around 100 yuan/m2, while the price of red, black and green marble of the same specification is between 300 yuan/m2 and 500 yuan/m2.

"Peach Blossom Red" and "664" varieties, prices a few years ago were still more than 100 yuan per square meter, but now it has dropped to around 30 yuan per square meter, which makes consumers feel great at the same time, feel great happiness. In the stone market in Shaoxing, the price of granite and marble in the past has shown different trends recently. Granite fell all the way, and some varieties even fell back several times at once. However, the price of marble has become higher and higher, and some species have increased their prices by nearly a quarter.

The explanation for the phenomenon of merchants is that there are fewer and fewer people who use granite. Especially since 2005, people have paid more attention to the concept of environmental protection. Most people think that granite has radiation and its grade is not high, so people now like it. Use marble. “Every customer who looks at granite has to ask if there is radiation. We naturally have to be honest. Some varieties do radiate relatively much, so fewer people buy it.”

There are many people in need, and the price is naturally pulled up. While the price of granite was reduced, the price of marble went up. Comparing marble quotes during the National Day this year, it was found that the original unit price of more than 200 yuan per square meter has now risen to around 300 yuan per square meter. Moreover, due to the numerous competitions in the stone market, many quotations have reached a critical point. Therefore, there is not much room for counter-offers, and many consumers generally reflect that marble prices have risen too quickly.

Although the price of stone has risen so far, the current trend may have to increase prices. Shaoxing Stone's purchase channels generally come from Hangzhou, while the stone market in Hangzhou currently has granite and marble in the entire warehouse stage. Certain varieties of stone often have only a few pieces left, and the owner may sell it at a low price in order to clear the position. By the end of the year, there will be a wave of price hikes in the market. The launch of new products and the re-export after clearance will make marble and granite prices jump up. Of course, consumers should be reminded to take correct measures of the radioactivity of the stone and fully understand the circumstances under which the radioactive materials of the building materials will be exposed to radiation.
