Lipasvaaran Vihreä Granite: the complete guide

History and origin

It comes from Finland, a country rich in very ancient crystalline rocks and with a well-established stone industry. It is a material of limited production, less widespread than the red and grey Finnish granites. It is sold in the granite category, that is among hard silicate stones. Marmi di Carrara supplies it on request.

Look and veining

The background is green, with more or less intense shadings depending on the lot. The grain and distribution of minerals vary between blocks, so it is important to assess samples or photos of the slabs. Polishing intensifies the green, while textured finishes make it lighter and duller.

Recommended uses

Suitable for floors, cladding, stairs and worktops, both indoors and outdoors. For large supplies it is advisable to check the availability and size of the blocks in advance.

Care and maintenance

Clean with neutral detergents; outdoors a water repellent limits dirt absorption on textured finishes. Avoid strongly alkaline or abrasive products on polished surfaces.
