Baltic Green is one of the most famous, appreciated and historic natural green granites in the world. Extracted from the renowned stone basins of southeastern Finland (in the Ylämaa/Lappeenranta region), this iconic Scandinavian material belongs to the famous Fennoscandian orbicular/rapakivi granite family, widely used in both major works of international public architecture and high-end interior design.
Visually, it is distinguished by an intense and enveloping background matrix in shades of forest green, dark emerald green and pine green, characterised by a typical macro-crystalline texture with rounded grains (ovoid or rapakivi structure) in shades of anthracite grey, obsidian black, quartz white and silvery feldspathic shades.
Geologically, it is a silicate intrusive igneous rock (Precambrian rapakivi granite) with a prevalent composition of quartz, potassium feldspar, plagioclase, micas and hornblende/chlorite (which give it its characteristic green hue). 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, frost (total frostiness) and thermal changes, combined with an extremely low liquid absorption rate (~0.21%).
– luxury kitchen tops and countertops: a top-notch choice for kitchen tops, scenic islands, and bar counters thanks to its absolute immunity to food acids, accidental scratches, and heat.
– high-traffic flooring and cladding: ideal choice for interior and exterior flooring, commercial lobbies, stations, airports, stairways, squares, and ventilated facades thanks to extraordinary mechanical stability and total resistance to the elements.
– bathroom, SPA, and wellness areas: perfect for vanity tops, shower trays, and wall coverings, where forest green tones create an elegant, relaxing, and organic atmosphere.
– monumental art and civil architecture: widely used throughout the world for the creation of valuable funerary works, civil sculptures, curbs, reception desks and custom urban finishes.
