Natural stone "Bali Green" Bressia with Old Castle

 There is a stone named Bali Green that is often heard in Bali.

Bali - green tile material. The left side is a thing that took a while after cutting.
The ones on the right and below the center are just cut.
Moss green turns into a bright brown

 



















The color of that stone is Moss Green, which is actually brownish even though it is named Green. The color of this stones are changing from moss green to brown when it is exposed to sunlight.

Bali green is slightly similar texture to the popular stone " Kerobokan".
But the reason why it's not so well-known as a building material is as time goes by, the color changes from moss green to brown too dramatically.

 

Bali Green are used for stone statue materials for exterior. There are some popular stone statues include statues of Buddha, Ganesha, a goddess with a barrel, etc. 
Sculptures of the Asian atmosphere are popular in Europe and the United States.

Even though it's named Bali Green, the production area is in the mountains of Central Java.

Here are the process how to dig the stone by hand at old-fashioned quarry

These Bali Green stones has been bought by French Customers and was going to use at restoration of old castle project.

Many valuable historic buildings and works of art in French such as Castle, are made by the stone that has similar shade and texture to Bali Green especially when its color are changing into brown.


That is why they are looking for Bali Green Stone for their conservation and restoration project in French and other country in Europe. And it is an honor for us to be participated even a bit in restoring valuable historic buildings and works of art project. 

Block stones actually are not exportable but are allowed under some conditions such as are subjected to cutting and other processing.

MARBLE FROM TULUNGAGUNG - EAST JAWA

I went to Tulungagung.

 
Tulungagung is a small town located in the East Java South coast area, but almost near the Central Java. It takes three and a half hours from Denpasar to Gilimanuk Harbor, by Car, and then take a ferry to cross Bali Strait to Banyuwangi, East Java. Then continue the journey around 12 hours more from Banyuwangi to get to Tulungagung. It was a pretty hard drive.

 









 
Turungagung is one of the famous Natural stone product, such as Marble and Andesit in Java.
To be exact,It seems not marble but limestone actually.











 
This time we got order from Australia, bush hammer finish Marble. So We went to Tulungagung for the inspections.

 
 Most of all factories in Tulungagung are small factories, and cutting accuracy is bad to say honestly. Even in that, We will find a factory that will listen to my detailed orders, from the choice of materials to the checking of the precision of the cutting and management of the finished stone one by one.







 





Once it's done, it will ready to be delivered to the warehouse in Bali where the process of packing in crate will be done there.

Container stuffing finally has been done this weekend.
We will safely arrive at your house and wish you a nice finish.

Big rain. Delay of stone block supply

I have to inform you that according to the news, the fuel price increases in the last month of the blog.

Without any major disruption, as usual traffic jams,  

It becomes to December without major changes.

But, climate was slightly different from previous years in Indonesia this year.

 

Previous years, in Indonesia will begin to rain in October.

But,in this year, it has started to rain from the beginning of December, it's heavy rain.

When you finally think it started to rain, it is extremely a lot of rain.

Last week, in the Central Java of Banjarnegara, 

landslides occurred in size of approximately 10 hectares. 

About 100 people were now missing. .   BBC NEWS

 

Current search dogs also participated, has continued to search activities  

but the mud make process of searching seems to be difficult.

In the quarry where stone materials will be taken , block of raw materials can not be proceed

because of the impact of heavy rain.

Candi Stone and Palimanan Stone of other, lime stone, Kinari, etc.

The government has recommended to citizens to not  approaching the loose area of the rivers and land. Of course it caused effect for the Natural Stone schedule of processing.
For this reasons, there might be got some delay during the rainy season until March.

For the customers, we recommended to arrange the order time with enough margin of time to avoid any crucial delay of supply.

From today, fuel price is increased

The Indonesian government announced the increasing of fuel costs yesterday November 17th, and be in forced to be effective today. 

Gasoline is into 8500 rupiah from 6500 rupiah per liter

Light oil became a 7500 rupiah per liter.

 

Rates are revised from November 18th early morning. 

 
In this morning,  people who refuel gasoline  on the way to their work got surprised !

Enforce of such fuel cost price hike in Indonesia, in this way you will always suddenly done.

web site Bloomberg

However, since previously had been rumored to was "9500 price increase in rupiah", 

The actual price increase lower than expected,  

This increasing price of the fuel shocked the citizen. But there is also a rumor that this increasing price is a step wise.


The rise nearly 30% higher than ever, because the transportation cost has gone up, and raise the price of our products.

The tax was using to subsidizes the fuel until now. By reducing the subsidies, we hope the government's policy will be adjusted in infrastructure for better future.

Thank you for your understanding.
