Golden Lighting – green granite of natural origin

Golden Lighting is an extraordinary, spectacular and exotic natural green granite extracted from the stone basins of Brazil. Recognized in high-profile contemporary architecture and designer interior design for its marked visual drama and chromatic power, it represents a silicate ornamental stone of the highest order.

Visually, it is distinguished by an intense background matrix in shades of dark forest green, olive green and pine green, capillarily crossed and inflamed by a dense network of streaks, flames and sinuous veins that recall real “lightning” in shades of pure gold, ochre, amber, bronze, anthracite grey and quartz white.

Technical characteristics of the Golden Lighting

Geologically it is an intrusive/metamorphic magmatic rock with a predominantly silicate composition (rich in quartz, feldspars and micas/chlorite responsible for the green background, with iron micro-oxides that generate the golden streaks). 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), excellent mechanical resistance and an extremely low liquid absorption rate. It offers total frostiness and resistance to thermal changes and abrasion from intense trampling.

Applications in design

– scenic kitchen tops and countertops: an excellent choice for impact islands, kitchen tops, and bar counters thanks to its absolute resistance to food acids, scratches, and direct heat.

– bookmatch compositions: the dynamic lightning pattern lends itself beautifully to mirrored posing for the creation of wall scenes with high pictorial impact.

– vertical paneling and accent walls: perfect for natural stone wood paneling, executive lobbies, hotel suites, decorative fireplaces, and prestigious entrances.

– bathroom and SPA rooms: widely used for designer vanity tops, shower walls and wellness areas, where the green-gold interweaving creates a luxurious and natural atmosphere.

– pavements and facades: used for high-traffic pavements and external architectural elements thanks to atmospheric unalterability.
