History and origin
It comes from Brazil and is very popular, especially for kitchen worktops. Its neutral background makes it easy to combine in different settings. It has been on the international market for years as a versatile granite. Marmi di Carrara supplies it on request.
Look and veining
The background is beige-grey, with light crystals and brown and black patches of medium to coarse grain. The pattern is fairly homogeneous, with small variations in tone between slabs. Polishing brings out the warm tones, matt finishes the grey ones.
