Verde Maritaca is a famous, classic, and widely consolidated natural silicate rock quarried in the vast stone basins of Brazil (particularly in the state of São Paulo, in the coastal region of Ubatuba). An icon of interior design and international architecture for its extremely high chromagnetic stability and excellent mechanical properties, it constitutes an ornamental silicate granite of extraordinary durability and timeless elegance.
Visually, it is distinguished by an intense, deep and compact background matrix in shades of dark olive green, forest green and almost black, capillarily dotted with a very minute and homogeneous crystalline texture in shades of emerald green, silver grey, gold-bronze and biotite black.
Geologically it is classified as a silicate intrusive magmatic rock (mangerite/charnockite with high plagioclase, quartz and pyroxene content, whose dark blackish-green color is conferred by ferromagnesian minerals and epidote/chlorite micro-inclusions). Being a stone 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 a very high hardness (Mohs scale 6–6.5), excellent compressive strength, extreme resistance to abrasion, scratches, heavy trampling, frost and temperature changes, combined with an extremely low water absorption rate.
– kitchen tops and islands: a global benchmark for kitchen tops, islands, and bar counters thanks to its high resistance to food acids, accidental scratches, and direct heat.
– high-traffic flooring and siding: ideal for commercial flooring, business centers, stations, hotel lobbies, and ventilated exterior siding/facades subjected to heavy wear and tear.
– bathroom, SPA and vanity top rooms: widely used for vanity tops, shower trays and wall coverings, ensuring maximum hygiene, practical maintenance and impeccable cleaning.
– thresholds, stairs and sub-windows: privileged choice for structural and architectural elements subject to heavy passage or continuous exposure to rain and frost.
