Golden Blue: the complete guide
Golden Blue is a granite-type material in blue and golden tones, with a strong decorative impact. It is chosen for exclusive worktops and surfaces that combine colour and durability.
History and origin
It is an imported stone known by this trade name; its exact origin is not stated with certainty. Granitic materials with blue highlights are rare and sought after in high-end interiors. Marmi di Carrara has handled it in blocks and slabs and supplies it on request.
Look and veining
The surface alternates blue areas and golden zones, with a pattern that varies greatly from slab to slab. Selection by batch and bookmatching are recommended for large surfaces. Polishing enhances the highlights, while matt finishes tone down the contrast.

FAQ
Is it suitable as a kitchen worktop?
Yes, as a granitic material it stands up well to scratches, heat and food acids.
Are all the slabs the same?
No, the distribution of blue and gold varies a great deal: for an island or a counter it is best to choose the slabs in person.
Can I use it for a backlit wall?
No, it is not translucent like onyxes; for luminous effects it should be lit from the front or with grazing light.
