Raw Afghan Stone.
Nordic Reliability.
We export rough onyx and marble blocks directly from the quarries of Helmand to stone processors, distributors, and project owners across Europe and global markets. No middlemen. No surprises. Just raw material, honestly sourced and reliably shipped.
From the quarries of southern Afghanistan to European yards.
Afganite was built on a simple observation: Afghan quarries produce some of the finest raw stone on earth — but getting that stone out reliably, transparently, and at scale has always been the hard part.
We are a Norwegian-founded export house with direct operations in Afghanistan. Our team is on the ground in Helmand, working alongside quarry operators to select, extract, and prepare rough blocks for international shipment.
We do not cut. We do not polish. We do not fabricate. We do one thing, and we do it well: we move raw blocks from Afghan soil to your yard.
This matters because the further stone travels up the value chain before export, the more opaque and fragile the supply becomes. By staying focused on rough block export, we keep costs lean, quality visible, and logistics clean. You receive the raw material exactly as it left the quarry — documented, measured, and ready for your own cutting and finishing.
Who we are: We are operators, not traders. Our presence is split between Norway and the Afghan quarry regions. When you speak to us, you are speaking to the people who stood at the extraction face and selected your blocks.
Quarry-Direct Sourcing
We work directly with licensed quarries in Helmand. No brokers. No aggregators. You know exactly where your blocks came from.
Rough Block Specialization
We do not diversify into slabs or tiles. Our entire operation is optimized for one output: properly extracted, dimensionally measured, export-ready rough blocks.
Nordic Transparency
Every block is photographed, measured, and documented before it leaves Afghanistan. You see what you are buying before it ships.
Ethical Extraction
We partner only with quarries that meet our baseline standards for worker safety, legal licensing, and responsible extraction practices.
Reliable Logistics
We handle Afghan export clearance, international freight documentation, and routing through established corridors to European ports and beyond.
Afghan Rough Block Collection
Our current focus is rough block — the raw material fabricators and slab producers cut, polish, and finish themselves.
Stone Types
From luminous white onyx to richly banded multi-color blocks, every stone type below is available as quarry-run rough block, selected and documented at source.
White Onyx Blocks
High translucency. Clean, luminous veining. Ideal for processors producing backlit panels, luxury countertops, and architectural feature pieces. Available in quarry-run rough blocks.
Green Onyx Blocks
Deep viridian layering with natural variation. A premium raw material for statement interiors, hotel projects, and bespoke stone applications.
Honey / Golden Onyx Blocks
Warm amber and cream stratification. Highly sought after for wellness spaces, residential design, and high-end retail environments.
Multi-Color / Banded Onyx Blocks
Dramatic natural banding of rust, sienna, and ivory. Each block is geologically unique — ideal for processors seeking one-of-a-kind slabs.
Afghan Marble Blocks
In addition to onyx, we source select white and colored marble rough blocks from the same region for processors requiring large-volume raw material.

Built for stone processors.
We understand that buying rough blocks from Afghanistan requires more than a good quarry — it requires export infrastructure that actually works.
Direct Quarry Exit to Port
Blocks are extracted, measured, and loaded for export directly from the quarry region. We manage the entire Afghan-side chain: local transport, customs clearance, and port handling.
Full Export Documentation
Afghan origin certificates, export declarations, commercial invoices, packing lists, and any additional documentation required for your destination country.
Containerized Shipment
Blocks are secured in 20-foot containers optimized for heavy stone freight. We offer both FCL and consolidated arrangements depending on your volume.
European Port Delivery
Shipments are routed through reliable international freight corridors to major European ports, then forwarded to your yard, warehouse, or project site.
Global Reach
While Europe is our primary corridor, we regularly arrange shipments to the Middle East, North America, and East Asia.
Pre-Shipment Verification
Every block in your order is photographed and dimensionally recorded before departure. You approve the load before it sails.
