offer 2: I can supply a grey sand stone to you.  We were dealing in Pietra Serena but have found this to be better quality.

We are also manufacturing bevelled mosaics 30 x 30 on paper mesh backing.
 
Pricing starts @ US $90.00 - to US $150.00 depending on module size.  Also available in slab.
 
Buyer asks: What are the quality differences between Pietra Serena and the darker grey stone?
Seller says: Thanks for your reply - generally you will find that Pietra Serena has a higher perocity rate ( I believe to be about 5-6%?) - than our pietra grigio - I have technical data from the university of Parma - summarising it as "heavy, compact, hard with high values of 1) compression breaking 2)ultimate tensile strength 3) impact and 4)frictional test.  It is to be considered a frost proof material.

WE QUOTED YOU THE TYPE EXPORT, IF THE NATIONAL QUALITY WOULD BE ACCEPTABLE THE PRICE WOULD LOWER OF COURSE BUT I AM SURE THAT IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR AN INTERIOR FLOORING THIS IS THE RIGHT QUALITY. Italy
 
Buyer: Hello, thanks for your quote.

What would be the difference between export and national quality
(appearance, surface, ..)?THE DIFFERENCE IS THE APPEARENCE IF YOU ARE AN EXPERT BUT MOSTLY THE STRENGHT.

I am looking for interior use. Are you saying that I should choose export
quality instead national quality?IT IS BECAUSE OF THE STRENGHT THAT WE ARE SUGGESTING THE EXPORT QUALITY.

I would like to visit the factory in person before buying. Would this be
possible? NO PROBLEM, BUT WE KINDLY ASK YOU TO ADVISE US ABOUT A 7/10 DAYS BEFORE YR ARRIVAL, WE ARE EXTREMELY BUSY WITH ARCHITECTS AND VISITORS EVERYDAY THEREFORE WE NEED TO BE INFORMED IN ADVANCE
