History and origin
It is one of the best-known Brazilian yellow granites and has been widespread on the international market for many years. Its popularity comes from its warm, uniform colour and good workability. It is widely used in residential construction, both indoors and outdoors. Marmi di Carrara supplies it on request.
Look and veining
The background is yellow-beige, with light and grey crystals and dark specks in a medium grain, giving a fairly uniform appearance. Variation between slabs is limited, but there may be differences in tone between lots. Polished, it looks warm and bright; flamed, it becomes lighter and rough, suitable for exteriors.
