@Mmunguti, The quarry is located in maai-mahiu on the Narok road about 3Km from maai mahiu town. There are three types of the "blue" stone: Kavu, Raymond, and Githonjo(almost resembles ile mawe ya kuosha mguu). They all retail at the same price, with Kavu being the "hardest" and Githonjo being the "lighter". Hope that helps.



It helps. A lot. I worry about transport cost though. I am in Kiambu. It may not make sense to go all the way....as compared to buying from the hardware guys in the area.



How about the beautiful yellow stone? Usually hand chiseled.They look kinda soft Are they found in the same quarry?

I gather that there is a machine cut stones quarry at Maai Mahiu. Who knows more about this, prices, quality e.t.c?

@mmunguti if you are at Norbrook there is a good supplier of building materials at the junction on your to Nazareth hospital some few meters from Norbrook. He is an old hand at the biz and has been supplying people for may years.
Hope that help.
