History and origin
It comes from Brazil and is one of the best-known green granites on the market. The name is commercial and does not refer to an origin in the Veneto. It is used mainly as polished slabs for kitchens, bathrooms and cladding. Marmi di Carrara supplies it on request.
Look and veining
The medium-dark green background is speckled with light grey or beige grains and black crystals, with a medium grain. Variability between slabs is moderate, mainly in the number of light specks. Polished, it has a glossy, deep green; honed, it looks lighter and velvety.
