History and origin
It comes from Austria, a country with an established granite quarrying tradition, particularly in its northern regions. Austrian granites are used for paving, stairs, cladding and memorials. Gebharts is known mainly on the Central European market. Marmi di Carrara supplies it on request.
Look and veining
The background is light-to-medium grey, sometimes with cool glints, with a medium, regular grain. Dark mica creates dense, widespread speckling. Differences between slabs are moderate; polishing makes the tone more intense and glassy.

FAQ
Does it resist de-icing salt?
Compact granites like this withstand it well; performance also depends on installation, falls and maintenance.
