Ash Rose Granite: the complete guide

History and origin

Ash Rose is a material found on the international market under an English trade name, which does not in itself indicate its origin. Light pink granites are traditionally used in construction, paving and funerary art. Availability and characteristics must be checked by batch. Marmi di Carrara supplies it on request.

Look and veining

The background is light pink, dotted with grey and dark grains that give a speckled effect. The grain is relatively regular, with moderate variation between slabs. Polishing gives a livelier tone, while flaming lightens it towards pinkish grey.
