Canadian Spring Green Granite: the complete guide
Canadian Spring Green Granite is a green granite of Canadian origin, natural and bold in appearance. It is chosen to add a touch of colour to kitchens, cladding and outdoor works without giving up the hardness of granite.
History and origin
Canada has vast formations of very ancient crystalline rocks, from which granites exported for construction and funerary art are sourced. Green granites are among the least common and are appreciated precisely for their distinctive colour. Spring Green is a niche material, with availability to be checked. Marmi di Carrara supplies it on request.
Look and veining
The background is green, with crystals ranging from light to dark green and black or pinkish specks. The pattern is granular, with possible differences in the intensity of the green between different blocks. Polishing enhances its depth of colour; flamed finishes lighten it towards greyer tones.

Recommended uses
Suitable for kitchen worktops, bathroom vanity tops, cladding, floors, memorials and street furniture. It stands up well to frost and outdoor conditions. The bold colour should be used judiciously: it works best on limited surfaces or combined with neutral tones.
Care and maintenance
Clean with a neutral detergent; avoid abrasive products on polished surfaces. A stain-proofing protector is useful on worktops. Outdoors it needs no particular care beyond periodic cleaning.

FAQ
Does the green of the granite remain stable over time?
Yes, the colour of granites comes from their minerals and does not fade; outdoors, however, the polished finish may lose its sheen over the years.
Is it good for a kitchen?
Yes, it is resistant to heat, scratches and food acids. It is an original choice compared with the classic blacks and greys.
Can I see the actual colour before ordering?
Yes, we recommend assessing samples or photos of the available slabs, because the intensity of the green varies between batches.
