Verde Esmeralda – green granite of natural origin

Verde Esmeralda is a wonderful, luxurious and expressive natural silicate rock mined in the renowned stone basins of Brazil. Appreciated in contemporary architecture and exalted in high-end interior design for the extraordinary brilliance of its chromatic range and the crystalline contrast of its veins, it constitutes a silicate ornamental stone of the highest aesthetic and performance level.

Visually, it is distinguished by an intense, liquid and enveloping background matrix in shades of emerald green, jade green and pine green, capillarily traversed and enriched by textures, flamings and micro-inclusions in shades of quartz white, silver grey, ash black and golden/bronze shades.

Technical characteristics of Verde Esmeralda

Geologically it is classified as an exotic magmatic/metamorphic silicate rock (migmatite/granitoid gneiss with a predominantly quartz-feldspathic composition, whose bright green colour is determined by micro-inclusions of epidote, chlorite and hornblende). As a strictly silicate matrix material with no 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, heavy trampling, frost and temperature changes, together with an extremely low water absorption rate (~0.10–0.15%).

Applications in design

– designer kitchen tops and islands for heavy use: a prominent choice for kitchen tops, islands, and bar counters thanks to its absolute immunity to food acids, scratches, and direct heat.

– bookmatch compositions: the flamed and veined movement allows for the creation of scenic backdrops, accent walls and panels with artistic impact.

– high-traffic flooring and siding: Perfect for indoor and outdoor flooring, executive lobbies, luxury hotels, and weather-prone facade architecture.

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