Our Approach

Striking Stone is a family owned local business in Phoenix, Arizona. We take great pride in creating the highest quality engraved stone products for our customers with old-fashioned customer service.

We use a traditional hand sandblasting process along with modern computer guided template cutting equipment. This method creates artwork that is highly detailed and precise while maintaining hand-made quality in real stone.

Striking Stone permanently engraves and carves your art, thoughts, images, wishes, pictures, memories, information or virtually anything you would like on a wide variety of substrates. Engraving ceramic or porcelain tile, granite, brick, pavers, concrete, marble, quartz, boulders, sandstone, flagstone and the list goes on.
