Saturnia is a fascinating and highly expressive natural green granite quarried in Brazil’s renowned stone basins. Appreciated in contemporary architecture and interior design for its complex veined texture and excellent physical-mechanical properties, it constitutes a silicate material of high scenographic and structural value.
Visually, it is distinguished by a deep and articulated background matrix in shades of forest green, olive green and dark pine green, capillarily crossed by a dynamic movement of flamings, waves and veins in shades of anthracite black, quartz grey, gold, bronze and light silver inserts. The texture, fluid but vigorous, gives the surfaces a profound three-dimensional effect and a highly distinctive natural character.
Geologically it is classified as a silicate intrusive igneous rock (granite / granitoid gneiss with quartz-feldspathic composition, rich in epidote, chlorite and hornblende, responsible for the intense green tones and chromatic nuances). Since it is a strictly silicate matrix material and completely free of carbonate components, it does not react with 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, combined with low water absorption (~0.12%).
– heavy-duty kitchen tops and countertops: a prominent choice for kitchen tops, islands, and bar counters thanks to their absolute immunity to food acids, direct heat, and accidental scratches.
– bookmatch compositions: the lively and energetic flow of the veins lends itself exceptionally to mirrored poses for accent walls and scenographic wings.
– high-traffic flooring and siding: ideal for indoor and outdoor floors, business lobbies, shopping malls, and walkways subject to heavy traffic and harsh weather conditions.
– bathroom and SPA environments: widely used for vanity tops, shower trays and wall coverings, infusing an elegant, warm and deep atmosphere.
