The detail that caught everyone’s eye at the Xiamen Fair was the same. It was impossible not to notice the interest of Chinese companies in green and yellow tones, vibrant, boutique stones. In fact, we had received this sign last year as well. Hongxing Marble had almost completely decorated its stand with FMK’s special stone Caretta Caretta. This year, with the widespread use of boutique stone fashion, we discussed this new era in the natural stone sector with Fatih Öztürk, one of the partners of FMK.
Stating that the fashion wind is blowing towards them, Öztürk said, “We have introduced Caretta Caretta from our Afşin Quarry to our sector for the last 3 years. We are aware that we have a jewel in our hands. Caretta Caretta is a very special stone with its 2.8 hardness, zero granule structure, no need for mesh, durability, high polish retention, and a mixture of calcite carbonate and onyx. We also evaluated the signs coming from China. We see that the fashion wind is blowing towards us. We market this jewel knowing its value.”
