Where is all the mining in Switzerland? I was there for two weeks and did not see any quarries at all, while in Italy I saw many.

Stone is used in building in Switzerland and in greater Europe much more than in the US, as here(the US at the moment) we build for 10-30 years, there I think the average build life is much longer. (more like min. 30 to 100?)

Also the particular stone that I work with only is quarried in Brazil, India, and Canada.
Where do you think granit blocks and paving slabs from Tessin comes from ?
