Verde Fantastico – natural green granite

Verde Fantastico is a scenic, magnificent and highly expressive natural silicate rock mined in the renowned stone basins of Brazil (with historical selections appreciated on international markets). Wanted in luxury interior architecture for the incomparable dynamism of its design and the chromagnetic richness of its mineral textures, it constitutes a silicate ornamental stone of absolute technical and aesthetic value.

Visually, it is distinguished by a deep and intense background matrix in shades of dark emerald green, pine green and forest green, extraordinarily moved by dramatic flares, waves and high-contrast streaks in shades of quartz white, silver grey, ash black and thin golden or hazel branches.

Technical characteristics of the Verde Fantastico

Geologically it is classified as an exotic magmatic/metamorphic silicate rock (migmatite/granitoid gneiss with a very high quartz and feldspar content, whose green color is determined by micro-inclusions of epidote, chlorite and hornblende). Since it is a material with a strictly silicate composition and free from carbonate components, it does not react with 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, combined with an extremely low water absorption rate (~0.10–0.15%).

Applications in design

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

– bookmatch compositions: the bold veined movement allows for the creation of scenic backdrops, accent walls and monumental panels with a very high artistic impact.

– High-traffic flooring and siding: Perfect for high-end commercial and residential flooring, hotel lobbies, executive spaces, and ventilated facades subject to heavy wear and tear.

– bathroom, SPA and vanity top environments: widely used for scenic vanity tops, floor-to-ceiling shower walls and furnishing elements for private or public wellness areas.
