History and origin
It is quarried in India, a country that produces numerous veined granites sold under the name Juparana alongside the Brazilian ones. It has long been known on the European market for worktops and floors. The name is commercial and does not refer to a specific place. Marmi di Carrara supplies it on request.
Look and veining
The grey-beige background is crossed by dark grey, white and sometimes pinkish waves, with small burgundy garnets. Variability between slabs is medium to high, with lighter and darker areas. Polishing accentuates the contrast of the waves; honing gives a more uniform, contemporary effect.
