Blue Butterfly is a renowned, dynamic, and fascinating natural blue-green granite quarried in China’s rich stone basins (with particular reference to Inner Mongolia Province). Appreciated in contemporary architecture and luxury interior design for its distinctive “butterfly wing” design and exceptional mechanical strength, it represents an ornamental stone of great stability, chromatic depth and decorative charm.
Visually, it presents a dark and deep background matrix in tones of anthracite grey, graphite black and dark green, capillarily studded and enriched with bright and iridescent spots and feldspathic crystals in tones of sapphire blue, avium blue, iridescent purple and splashes of red garnet/hazelnut.
Geologically it is an intrusive magmatic rock (granite) with a predominantly silicate composition (quartz, feldspars and micas). As a strictly silicate matrix material with no carbonate components, it does not react to food or household 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), exceptional resistance to abrasion, scratches, intense trampling and thermal shock, combined with an extremely low liquid absorption rate and excellent frost resistance. To maintain maximum protection against oily or stubborn stains, an ordinary protective water-oil-repellent seal is recommended.
– countertops and work countertops: an excellent choice for kitchen tops, islands, and bar counters thanks to their total immunity to food acids, nicks, and direct heat.
– high-traffic flooring and cladding: perfect for interior and exterior floors, ventilated facades, commercial lobbies, and high-frequency stairways, ensuring unalterability and durability over time.
– bathroom and vanity top rooms: widely used for vanity tops, shower trays and wall coverings, combining a scenographic and iridescent aesthetic with maximum ease of sanitization and maintenance.
– furnishing elements and monumental architecture: ideal for the creation of tops for tables, consoles, reception desks, skirting boards and highly mechanically stressed street furniture elements.
