Orissa Blue is a renowned, solid, and highly prized natural blue granite quarried in the state of Odisha (historically known as Orissa), located along the east coast of India. Widely used in international civil architecture, prestigious public projects and interior design, it represents an ornamental stone with extraordinary structural uniformity and excellent mechanical resistance.
Visually, it is characterised by an elegant and homogeneous background matrix in shades of lavender blue, air grey and indigo blue, enriched and embellished with a dense uniform grain size dotted with microcrystals in shades of anthracite grey, black and soft red-burgundy or purple reflections.
Geologically it is an intrusive magmatic rock (granite/silicate migmatite) rich in 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, inglivity and thermal changes, combined with a very low liquid absorption rate. To best preserve the surface against oils or staining agents, the usual hydro-oleorepellent protective sealing is recommended.
– luxury kitchen tops and countertops: ideal choice for kitchen tops, islands, and bar counters thanks to its total resistance to food acids, scratches, and high temperatures.
– high-traffic flooring and cladding: widely used for interior and exterior flooring, commercial lobbies, stations, airports, stairways, and ventilated facades thanks to its high mechanical strength and homogeneity of design.
– bathroom and vanity top rooms: suitable for vanity tops, shower trays and wall coverings, where the lavender-blue hues give a feeling of cleanliness, serenity and breadth.
– funerary art and civil architecture: widely used worldwide for monumental works, high-quality funerary art, curbs, urban paving, and custom furnishings.
