How to Identify Genuine Kota Stone
Updated 2026-11-15
Simple checks to tell genuine Kota stone from look-alike stones or tiles.
Look at the colour
Genuine Kota has an even blue-grey or green tone with subtle natural variation, the same colour through the thickness.
Check the edge
Cut edges show solid stone, not a printed layer or clay body.
Ask the source
Ask where it was quarried (Kota, Ramganj Mandi, Jhalawar belt) and request photos of the actual lot.
