Verde Gloria – green granite of natural origin

Verde Gloria is a classic, elegant and compact natural green granite quarried in the stone basins of Brazil (especially in the state of Bahia). Highly appreciated in interior architecture, public buildings and contemporary design for its extremely homogeneous structure and its relaxing natural tones, it constitutes a silicate ornamental stone of notable versatility and mechanical resistance.

Visually, it is characterized by a harmonious background matrix in shades of olive green, pine green and moss green, capillarily covered with a dense and uniform crystalline speckling in shades of silver grey, ash black, quartz white and ochre micro-reflections.

Technical characteristics of Verde Gloria

Geologically it is classified as a silicate intrusive igneous rock (granite with a predominantly quartz-feldspathic composition, whose green color is conferred by micro-inclusions of epidote, chlorite and hornblende). Being a stone with a strictly silicate composition and free from 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 high hardness (Mohs scale 6–6.5), exceptional resistance to abrasion, scratches, intense trampling, frost and temperature changes, combined with an extremely low water absorption rate (~0.15–0.19%).

Applications in design

– heavy-duty kitchen tops and countertops: an excellent choice for kitchen tops, islands, and countertops thanks to their total immunity to food acids, scratch resistance, and direct heat.

– high-traffic paving and siding: Ideal for commercial paving, airports, stations, executive and outdoor lobbies subject to frost and heavy stress.

– bathroom and vanity top rooms: widely used for vanity tops, shower trays and floor-to-ceiling wall coverings, ensuring maximum hygiene and ease of cleaning.

– thresholds, stairs and ventilated facades: indicated for structural and external architectural elements subjected to continuous atmospheric agents.
