Testing
- Water Absorption:
- less than 0.4%
- Density:
- 2635 - 2675 kg/m³
- Flexural Strength:
- 13 - 15 MPa
- Compressive Strength:
- 175 - 210 MPa
- Stone texture:
- characterized by a soft cream to yellow-beige background accented with distinctive violet, lilac, or purplish veining and subtle linear streaks, often accompanied by small speckles of black, brown, or gray minerals that add depth and variation to the surface. The overall appearance combines gentle movement with moderate contrast, where the violet tones can range from faint to more pronounced, creating a unique and elegant visual identity that varies from slab to slab. Structurally, it is a medium- to coarse-grained crystalline stone—sometimes classified as a gneiss due to its banded composition—composed mainly of quartz, feldspar, and mica, resulting in a dense, compact, and highly durable material with low water absorption and strong resistance to weathering and frost
Description
Cream Violet Granite is a unique and visually appealing natural stone characterized by its soft cream to yellow-beige background. It is accentuated by distinct violet, lilac, or purplish veining, which adds a dynamic and elegant contrast to the surface. This granite often includes subtle linear streaks and small speckles of black, brown, or gray minerals, contributing to its depth and variation. Each slab of Cream Violet Granite is unique due to the variability in the intensity of violet tones, ranging from faint to more pronounced, creating a personalized visual identity.
