Verde Lavras is an elegant, solid and compact natural green granite quarried in the stone deposits of Brazil (in the state of Minas Gerais). Appreciated in contemporary architecture and interior design for its extraordinary structural homogeneity, high performance seal and sober chromatic elegance, it constitutes a highly reliable silicate ornamental stone.
Visually, it is distinguished by a harmonious and deep background matrix in shades of olive green, forest green and pine green, capillarily characterised by a dense crystalline speckling in shades of ash grey, biotite black, quartz white and ochre micro-reflections. The medium-fine grain texture gives surfaces a solid and constant presence, particularly suitable for continuous surfaces of large square footage.
Geologically it is classified as a silicate intrusive magmatic rock (granite with a 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 6–6.5), exceptional resistance to abrasion, scratches, intense trampling, frost and temperature changes, combined with an extremely low water absorption rate.
– heavy-duty kitchen and island tops: a top-notch choice for kitchen tops, islands, and work counters thanks to its complete immunity to food acids, scratch resistance, and direct heat.
– high-traffic flooring and siding: perfect for commercial and residential flooring, executive lobbies, hotel entrances, and ventilated facades subject to weather and heavy wear.
– bathroom, SPA and vanity top rooms: widely used for vanity tops, shower trays and walls for wellness areas, offering maximum hygiene and ease of maintenance.
– thresholds, scales and structural elements: indicated for architectural elements subjected to continuous mechanical stress and atmospheric agents.
