Baltic Green Granite
Baltic Green Granite, also known as rapakivi granite, is a distinctive natural stone quarried in the village of Rantamaki, Raippo, Ylamaa, Lappeenranta, Finland. This granite, formed during the Precambrian period, boasts unique geological characteristics that contribute to its exceptional appearance.
The granite exhibits a green-grey color palette, with deep green being the predominant hue. The stone's coarse medium grain features pyroxene, and the overall texture is characterized by medium-sized rounded grains. This combination creates a dense and uniform appearance, giving Baltic Green Granite a sense of solidity and natural beauty.
The deep green coloration of the granite adds a touch of richness and sophistication to its aesthetic. The medium-sized rounded grains contribute to the stone's distinct texture, creating an intriguing visual appeal. Baltic Green Granite's rapakivi structure, characterized by rounded feldspar crystals surrounded by a finer-grained matrix, further enhances its unique and attractive features.
Quarried in the village of Rantamaki, this granite is renowned for its durability and versatility. Its deep green color and distinctive grain make it a sought-after choice for various applications, including countertops, flooring, wall cladding, and other decorative elements. Baltic Green Granite stands as a testament to the beauty of natural stone, reflecting the geological history of the Precambrian period in the rugged landscapes of Finland.
