Labrador Antique Granite
Labrador Antique Granite is a distinctive and visually striking natural stone that originates from quarries primarily located in Norway. It is known for its unique color palette and distinctive patterns, making it a popular choice for both residential and commercial applications.
Labrador Antique Granite is an expensive coarse grained natural stone quarried since 1996. This stone has a high resistance to both staining and scratching. The coloring is unique with a deep brown background, large crystals, and highlights of reflective blue to purple crystals.
Labrador Antique Granite is classified into two qualities before leaving the quarry:
GLA 1st choice has a brown background with clear blue to purple crystals. There could be red, brown, black, white,or green lines and some small black spots in the structure.
GLA 2nd choice is similar to the above in color and crystals but may contain larger veins and more black spots. It could also be more open in structure than first choice.
The level of pitting varies between slabs. There are also variations in the brown tones and crystal size so it's always best to view your stone.
The dominant color of Labrador Antique Granite is a deep and rich black, often with a dark grey or bluish undertone. What sets this granite apart is the presence of large iridescent blue or green mineral inclusions known as "labradorescence." These iridescent patches or flecks create a captivating and dynamic appearance, giving the stone a sense of depth and movement. The interplay of black and the iridescent hues adds a touch of intrigue and uniqueness to Labrador Antique Granite.
Another notable characteristic of Labrador Antique Granite is its coarse-grained texture, which provides a tactile and visually interesting surface. The granite may showcase patterns of flowing veins, speckles, or even small clusters of contrasting colors, such as white or golden tones. These variations add to the stone's overall aesthetic appeal and contribute to its natural charm.
Labrador Antique Granite is a durable and resilient material, suitable for a wide range of applications. It is commonly used for kitchen countertops, bathroom vanities, flooring, and wall cladding. Its robust nature and resistance to heat, scratches, and staining make it an excellent choice for high-traffic areas and surfaces that require durability.
In terms of maintenance, Labrador Antique Granite is relatively low-maintenance. Regular cleaning with mild soap and water is typically sufficient to keep the surface clean and in good condition. However, as with any natural stone, it is advisable to use cutting boards, trivets, and coasters to protect the surface from potential damage.
Labrador Antique Granite's striking appearance and durability make it a sought-after material for those looking to create a bold and unique aesthetic in their living spaces. Whether used as a focal point or as an accent, Labrador Antique Granite adds an element of drama and sophistication to any interior design project.
