The story of BQ Stones began in 2017, born from a simple yet powerful realization: clients in the international stone market needed more than just products — they needed trust, expertise, and personalized guidance.

I had a solid background in the global trade of natural stones, so I founded BQ Stones LTDA to bridge that gap. From the very beginning, our mission has been to offer not only exceptional Brazilian natural stones, but also a complete curatorial experience, guiding our clients through every stage — from selection to shipment.

Over the years, I have personally visited quarries across Brazil, from north to south, learning directly from the people who dedicate their lives to the extraction of these natural treasures. This hands-on approach allowed me to understand the true character of each stone — its origin, texture, and story. Along the way, I also built partnerships with reliable and ethical factories, carefully selecting those that share our values of quality, transparency, and responsibility.

BQ Stones wouldn’t be what it is without a strong team. Together with professionals who have extensive experience in both the stone industry and international logistics, we ensure that every project is handled with precision, safety, and care — no matter how complex the process may be.

Our first partnerships began with slate trading, particularly alongside MPM Slate — a collaboration built on trust and mutual growth that continues to this day. Over time, BQ Stones evolved naturally, expanding our reach and strengthening our reputation as a reliable and strategic partner for sourcing Brazilian natural stones.

Today, we proudly operate as both brokers and traders, connecting clients worldwide to the extraordinary diversity of Brazilian stone materials. Our purpose remains unchanged: to connect the world with the beauty and richness of Brazil’s natural stones, guided by transparency, curation, and excellence.

Sincerely,

Maria Clara – BQ Stones founder.
