Verde Borgogna – green granite of natural origin

Verde Borgogna is a sophisticated, rare and elegant natural silicate rock mined in Brazil’s renowned stone basins. Appreciated in luxury interior architecture and contemporary design for the balance of its chromatic texture and its extraordinary resistance, it represents a silicate ornamental stone of the highest performance and aesthetic value.

Visually, it is distinguished by a deep and harmonious background matrix in shades of olive green, forest green and dark sage green, delicately moved by flares, undulations and nuances in shades of quartz grey, bronze, deep gold and milky micro-streaks. The soft and never aggressive course of its design gives the surfaces a solid, warm and enveloping presence.

Technical characteristics of the Verde Borgogna

Geologically it is classified as a silicate magmatic/metamorphic rock (migmatite/granitoid gneiss with a very high content of quartz and feldspars, whose green component is due to the presence of minerals such as epidote and chlorite). Since it is a strictly silicate matrix material and totally free of calcite, 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, heavy trampling, frost and direct heat, together with an extremely low water absorption rate (~0.10–0.15%).

Applications in design

– heavy-duty kitchen tops and counters: a top-notch choice for kitchen tops, islands, and bar counters thanks to its absolute immunity to food acids, heat, and accidental scratches.

– high-traffic flooring and siding: Perfect for indoor and outdoor floors, executive lobbies, luxury hotels, and ventilated facades subject to heavy wear and tear.

– bookmatch compositions: the presence of flaming and directed movements allows for the creation of scenic backdrops and accent walls with strong visual appeal.

– bathroom, SPA and vanity top rooms: widely used for vanity tops, shower trays and floor-to-ceiling wall coverings for wellness areas and exclusive private environments.
