History and origin
It comes from Brazil and is one of the dark green granites that have long been on the international market. It is sold mainly as polished slabs for kitchen worktops, bathrooms and cladding. It is often offered as an alternative to other Brazilian greens such as Ubatuba. Marmi di Carrara supplies it on request.
Look and veining
The dark green background shows black and grey-green crystals and gold-coloured grains, with a medium to coarse grain. The pattern is fairly uniform, with variations between slabs in the density of the light crystals. Polishing makes it deep and glossy, while brushing gives it a matt, textured look.
