Gris Morrazo Granite: complete guide

Gris Morrazo is a grey granite from Galicia, in north-western Spain. It is valued for its compactness and a regular pattern that lends itself to large surfaces.

History and origin

The name recalls the Morrazo peninsula, in the province of Pontevedra, in Galicia, one of the most important regions in Europe for granite quarrying. Galician granites have been used for centuries in local architecture and are now exported to many countries. Gris Morrazo is used in construction, paving and street furniture. Marmi di Carrara supplies it on request.

Look and veining

The background is grey, with clearly legible crystals of white feldspar, grey quartz and black mica. The overall effect is homogeneous, with moderate differences in tone between slabs. Polished, it is brilliant and contrasted; bush-hammered or flamed, it takes on a rustic light grey.

Recommended uses

Suitable for façades, public paving, steps, low walls, kitchen worktops and interior floors. The humid climate of its region of origin testifies to its good outdoor performance. For light, very bright worktops it is better to opt for whiter granites.

Care and maintenance
