Bamboo Green – green granite of natural origin

Verde Bamboo is an extraordinary, exotic, and highly linear natural silicate rock mined in Brazil’s rich stone basins. Celebrated in contemporary architecture and high-end interior design for its peculiar directed structure that evokes the reeds and stems of a bamboo forest, it constitutes a silicate ornamental stone of high aesthetic and structural value.

Visually, it is distinguished by a dynamic background matrix in shades of olive green, apple green, sage green and moss green, capillarily crossed by thick bands, streaks and sub-parallel veins in shades of dark green, quartz grey, gold, ochre and ash shades. The strictly directed course of the veins gives the surfaces a rhythmic, modern and unmistakable character.

Technical characteristics of Verde Bamboo

Geologically it is classified as an exotic magmatic/metamorphic silicate rock (migmatite/granitoid gneiss with quartz-feldspathic composition, whose green color is determined by micro-inclusions of epidote, chlorite and hornblende). Since it is a strictly silicate matrix material and completely free of carbonate components, it does not react to food or household chemical acids (such as lemon, vinegar, wine, juices or anti-limescale detergents) and is not subject to opacification or acid corrosion. It boasts a very high hardness (Mohs scale 6–7), exceptional resistance to abrasion, scratches, intense trampling, frost and temperature changes, combined with an extremely low water absorption rate (~0.10–0.15%).

Applications in design

– designer kitchen tops and islands for heavy use: an excellent choice for kitchen tops, islands, and bar counters thanks to their absolute immunity to food acids, direct heat, and accidental scratches.

– bookmatch compositions: the strongly directed development of the veins lends itself magnificently to the mirrored pose, creating real scenic backdrops and accent walls with a strong geometric impact.

– high-traffic flooring and siding: Ideal for indoor and outdoor flooring, executive lobbies, hotel suites, and facade siding subject to heavy foot traffic and weather.

– bathroom, SPA, and vanity top environments: widely used for vanity tops, shower trays, and floor-to-ceiling wall coverings, infusing a relaxing, organic, and natural atmosphere.
