Verde Butterfly is a widespread, classic and extremely high-performance natural green granite quarried in the vast stone basins of Brazil. Widely used in contemporary architecture and global interior design for its exceptional mechanical strength and characteristic fine-grained “butterfly wing” structure, it represents a silicate ornamental stone of primary commercial importance.
Visually, it is distinguished by a deep and homogeneous background matrix in shades of dark green, forest green and pine green, capillarily dotted with a dense crystalline speckle in shades of jade green, silver grey, quartz white, ash black and golden micro-reflections.
Geologically, it is classified as a silicate intrusive igneous rock (medium-fine-grained granite with a 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 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 has a very high hardness (Mohs scale 6–7), an exceptional resistance to abrasion, scratches, intense trampling, frost and thermal changes, combined with an extremely low water absorption rate (~0.10%). To protect micropores from oily or pigmenting substances, a hydro-oleorepellent protective treatment is applied.
– heavy-duty kitchen tops and countertops: among the world’s most popular materials for kitchen tops, islands, and countertops thanks to their total imperviousness to food acids, scratches, and direct heat.
– high-traffic flooring and siding: Perfect for commercial flooring, airports, business lobbies, shopping malls, and outdoor areas prone to frost and heavy wear.
– bathroom and vanity top rooms: widely used for vanity tops, shower trays and wall coverings, ensuring maximum hygiene, ease of cleaning and durability.
– thresholds, stairs and facade cladding: primary choice for structural and architectural elements subject to atmospheric agents and continuous wear.
