Amazon Stones

The virtual slab yard is an amazing tool. I found a slab I was interested in but they only had one piece. The owner gave me great pricing and let me keep the slab on hold until I could confirm that it would fit.
I went to almost every place in town and the quality of the stone here is the best. I wanted marble but fell in love with this leather finish. Could not be happier with final product. Had to find my own installer but that was not a problem. Do yourself a favor and make sure to hire a professional installer. Thank you for the help with my beautiful kitchen.

Got a really good deal on some very nice granite from Amazon Stones, which ended up in our kitchen looking great. Staff was very friendly and helped us find the stone that best for our needs. Good selection to browse in person or online.

The «Find it yourself» Slab Yard
I have a bit of experience shopping for granite. Amazon Stones is a must stop for everyone curious about granite slabs or just wanted to look at their natural beauty without a sales person hounding you. There are no pressure sales people here, it’s walk around and check out the slabs. If you like something, write down what you like and go inside.

— Very nice slabs for the average Joe that’s looking to upgrade at an affordable price.
Tip
It’s an outside yard, and on a hot sunny day it might be uncomfortable. Bring sunglasses.

Like the last reviewer, I went everywhere in the county (I stopped after I went to about 15 different slab yards from San Diego up to San Marcos!). Amazon Stones on Miramar Road was actually the third place I visited and I wrote down a few granite slabs I liked. I didn’t want to make too hasty of a decision, so I kept looking at other slab places.
I was doing the slab selection all on my own: no decorator, no designer, no contractor, and no fabricator… I was flying blind! Other than a little web reading, I had NO idea how to go about picking/​buying and installing a slab. What I did know is that I didn’t want to go to a «counter store» to buy a prefab piece that looked like everyone else’s countertop. I wanted my counter to be a work of art… something unique with character and one-​of-​a-​kind beauty… at a reasonable price (my budget wasn’t big). I got quotes from the «prefab» stores for regular run-​of-​the-​mill granite but in the end, with my granite slab from Amazon Stones and the cost of the fabrication/​install, it ended up being CHEAPER to go the route of an «original» looking countertop/​island instead of prefab.
I came back to Amazon Stones a week later because they simply had drop-​dead beautiful slabs, great prices, and wonderful customer service (Ricardo could not have helped me more with info and his knowledge of the industry). He carefully went over with me the whole slab I liked to look for cracks or other problems (there was only 1 left of this granite slab and it was exactly the minimum size I needed).
We went to his office where he handed me a sheet on all the different edges/​corners I could choose to have my fabricator cut (who knew there were so many edges other than the standard bullnose!). He then recommended (for my slab and sq. footage needed) what would probably work and pointed out what I wouldn’t have enough granite for. He circled a few that he thought I would probably like, based on our discussion.
I asked for and Ricardo gave me a few fabricator names he kept on file and after calling a few, I wisely chose Manuel who owns MGH GRANITE WORKZ (619) 754‑0340. Manuel did an incredible job with the tricky slab (it was exactly the size needed for my project… not any overage… and he had to make it work). He came to my house and helped me select the right corner (I didn’t want bullnose like everyone else, yet didn’t want to spend $$$ for an over-​the-​top edge. I also was very limited on what I could choose as I did not have a lot of left-​over granite to use). I decided a beveled edge would be nice and he said he would add a «diamond» cut on the corners (no extra charge) that he thought I would like.
Manuel is a genius (see photos): he matched my slab wonderfully in the two places that joined and the diamond cut corners added such a beautiful touch! His work is fast, superb and his prices are much more reasonable than the «store» fabricators.
Amazon Stones and MGH Granite Workz made my kitchen extraordinary, so thanks to a terrific team!

After checking out several other places, this was THE place for us for granite in SD. From the awesome interactive yard where you can see basics about each slab, to their awesome customer service when you actually go to the store. Front desk girl was super nice and helpful, and then Ricardo (owner I think) really takes the time to learn what you’re trying to do and advise you. Plus we ended up getting a sweet deal, vs the prefab piece we were considering elsewhere. Highly recommended!

I have purchased granite slabs from them twice now. We remodeled our kitchen about 4 years ago and they had the best price and great customer service. We went in back in March to pick out slabs for our new kitchen and were not sure how many we needed. We picked out and purchased 2 slabs and they agreed to hold the 3^rd slab until we were done with our project. We ended up needing the 3^rd slab but didn’t know for over a month and it was still there. Worked with Ricardo and couldn’t ask for better. They recommended a couple of fabricators and after bouncing back and forth with a couple, we went with Valdemar & Sons. Thanks again guys!

Without a doubt this is where you should go before ordering countertops. Their selection is amazing. We found our beautiful soapstone there and couldn’t be happier with it. Ricardo was knowledgeable, friendly and very, very patient with us. We recommend this business highly!

We redid our kitchen through Prefab Granite Depot but they didn’t have the granite we were looking for, so they sent us here. Great selection and knowledgeable, friendly staff. Love our granite countertops!

Amazon Stones has an awesome selection, owners know their product (Ricardo was very knowledgeable), and are happy to walk you through all you need to know about selecting granite and the next steps of the fabrication process. Also great assortment of remnants at very reasonable prices. I read in an earlier review that they are open March-​October, but it is December and they are fully in business!

We found what we are looking for here. We only needed one small counter so we were lucky to find what we needed in the remnant collection. Their website is pretty good to see what they have in stock so I recommend starting there. They have a large collection and it seemed like their prices were reasonable. They are simply just suppliers however so you have to find someone else to cut/​shape your granite or marble for you. We went with someone that they recommended to us to shape our product. We don’t have the final product yet but will update if it doesn’t turn out.

This slab yard was the best we went to on Mir Mar Road… And we must have went through all of them! I do Kitchen and Bathroom Design, and was working with my most difficult client ever… My mom!
We went to every slab yard for three straight days in a row! What made Amazon different from the rest, was their website and service. They have a virtual showroom, so you can preview the slabs right from home. The woman that was helping us with our slab was really nice and she knew her stuff! She even had the guys move several slabs so we can get a real good look and select the one we wanted. We found just the one we were looking for, and although it took three 8 hour days of shopping, we bought from Amazon.
Reasonable prices and they have recommended fabricators too!

They have great collections. They have very good information on their web site and the virtual yard. They give me their honest opinion about the stones and their origin and processing countries.

this was our first time at Amazon Stone. They were a great company to do business with. They have all price levels on their slabs. We chose Colombo Gold as it was on sale. The owner even recommended a contractor to install.

We were recommended to Amazon Stones by our cabinet guy. No wonder, Randy is a real pro and the selection of granite is superb. We had a hard time deciding because of the all the great choices. Once we settled on a slab, all was taken care of with the ordering, cutting and installation. Antonio and David were professional, polite and prompt. The countertops in our bathrooms never looked better, we feel like we’re in a top notch hotel whenever we go in them!
You cannot beat the selection and prices.

I never thought I’d enjoy so much looking at giant slabs of granite. My mom took me here since she’s currently remodeling her kitchen and bathrooms. Somehow because the granite sheets are big and uncut (they’re probably 7’x9’ if I had to guess) they’re even more beautiful because you’re more likely to see patterns in the natural design.
This company is Brazilian owned and they are only open March through October. Apparently Brazilian granite is better than Indian because there is less cracking. All the rock (granite, marble, travertine, slate) is outside (you can see a picture of their set-​up on the website). The sales people are friendly but not high pressure. You’re able to look at the slabs without talking to sales people.
The selection is outstanding here but I’ve dropped them a star because the prices are so much better (albeit for pre-​cut granite) at Prefab Granite Depot down the street.
