New Tunas Green is an extremely solid, compact and elegant natural green granite, quarried mainly in the stone basins of Brazil (in the state of Rio Grande do Sul) with historic selections also quarried in Argentina. Appreciated for its excellent structural homogeneity and strong mechanical strength, it represents a primary silicate ornamental stone chosen for high-traffic architectural projects and contemporary interior design.
Visually, it is distinguished by a dense and deep background matrix in shades of dark olive green, forest green and pine green, capillarily characterised by a uniform medium-fine texture with crystalline reflections in shades of anthracite black, smoky grey, translucent quartz and light golden/amber highlights.
Geologically it is a silicate intrusive magmatic rock (medium-fine grained granite/monzonite rich in plagioclase, potassium feldspar, quartz, hornblende and epidote/chlorite microcrystals responsible for the green hues). As a strictly silicate matrix material with no carbonate components, it does not react to food or household chemical acids (such as lemon, vinegar, wine, juices or common detergents) and is not subject to acid attack opacification. It has a very high hardness (Mohs scale 6–7), excellent resistance to abrasion, scratches, intense trampling, frost (total frostiness) and thermal changes, with an extremely low water absorption rate (~0.15%).
– heavy-duty kitchen tops and countertops: an excellent choice for kitchen tops, islands, and bar counters thanks to their absolute immunity to food acids, direct heat, and accidental scratches.
– high-traffic flooring and siding: ideal for indoor and outdoor floors, business lobbies, shopping centers, stairways, and high-wear areas thanks to maximum mechanical stability and atmospheric unalterability.
– ventilated facades and external cladding: widely used in civil and urban architecture for facade cladding thanks to its resistance to UV rays, pollution and frost.
– bathroom and SPA environments: perfect for vanity tops, shower trays and wall coverings, infusing an elegant, clean and relaxing atmosphere.
