Verde Marina – green granite of natural origin

Verde Marina is a renowned, classic and extremely versatile natural silicate rock mined in the stone basins of India (particularly in the Kuppam region of the state of Andhra Pradesh). Highly appreciated in international architecture and contemporary design for the harmonious delicacy of its wave design, it constitutes a silicate ornamental stone of high strength and chromatic balance.

Visually, it is distinguished by an enveloping and fluid background matrix in tones of light sage green, grey-green and olive green, furrowed by a characteristic and elegant wave-like movement of streaks and shades in tones of quartz white, silver grey, forest green and subtle ash reflections.

Technical characteristics of Verde Marina

Geologically it is classified as a magmatic/metamorphic silicate rock (granitoid gneiss/migmatite with high quartz content and feldspars, whose desaturated green color is conferred by micro-inclusions of epidote, chlorite and micas). Being a material with a strictly silicate composition and free from 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 high hardness (Mohs scale 6–6.5), exceptional resistance to abrasion, scratches, heavy trampling, frost and temperature changes, combined with an extremely low water absorption rate.

Applications in design

– kitchen tops and islands: a top-notch choice for kitchen tops, islands, and countertops thanks to its high resistance to food acids, scratch resistance, and direct heat.

– high-traffic paving and siding: ideal for large-square commercial and residential paving, executive lobbies, airports, plazas, and exteriors subject to frost and mechanical wear.

– bookmatch compositions: the fluid and continuous movement of the sinuous veins allows the creation of wall wings and effect surfaces.

– bathroom, SPA and vanity top rooms: widely used for vanity tops, shower trays and walls for wellness areas, ensuring maximum hygiene and ease of cleaning.
