History and origin
Sardinia, and Gallura in particular, is one of the main granite districts in Europe. Bianco Sardo has been used for squares, pavements, stairs, façades and street furniture in Italy and abroad. Marmi di Carrara supplies it on request.
Look and veining
A light grey-whitish background with black and grey grains evenly distributed. Flamed or bush-hammered it becomes lighter and rougher; polished it shows the crystals better.
