Testing
- Water Absorption:
- 0.5 %
- Density:
- 2680 kg/m3
- Flexural Strength:
- 14.1 MPa
- Compressive Strength:
- 168.6 MPa
- Stone texture:
- a warm, creamy white to pale beige/yellow-grey base. It has a classic, grounded, and robust aesthetic; It is defined by a dense, uniform, and coarse granular speckle pattern (resembling a starry sky or hemp seeds, hence the name "Hemp"). The body is heavily speckled with interlocking grains of warm golden-yellow/amber, medium grey, and deep black/dark brown. Unlike directional veining, the pattern is a consistent, chaotic mineral distribution.
Description
Golden Hemp Medium Granite is a natural stone with a distinctive aesthetic characterized by a warm, creamy white to pale beige/yellow-grey background. The surface features a dense, uniform distribution of interlocking grains, much like a starry sky or hemp seeds. The granite's speckle pattern consists predominantly of warm golden-yellow/amber tones, interspersed with medium grey and deep black/dark brown mineral grains. Unlike granites with directional veining, this type displays a more chaotic and consistent mineral distribution. Quarried in China, particularly in the Hubei and Shandong provinces, it offers a classic, grounded, and robust aesthetic, making it a popular choice for a variety of architectural applications.
Physical and Mechanical Properties
- Water Absorption: 0.5%
- Density: 2680 kg/m³
- Flexural Strength: 14.1 MPa
- Compressive Strength: 168.6 MPa
- Hardness: Typically around 6-7 on the Mohs scale
- Porosity: Generally low, facilitating less water absorption and higher resistance to staining
- Slip Resistance: Varies depending on the finish applied; generally good, especially when honed or flamed
Chemical and Mineral Composition
- Quartz: Approx. 30-40%
- Feldspar: Approx. 30-35%
- Biotite/Mica: Approx. 10-15%
- Other minerals (e.g., Hornblende): Approx. 5-10%
- Other elements/trace minerals: Remaining percentage
Usage
Golden Hemp Medium Granite is versatile and can be used for:
- Countertops: Kitchen and bathroom surfaces due to its durability and aesthetic appeal
- Flooring: Suitable for high-traffic areas given its hardness and slip resistance
- Wall Cladding: Both exterior and interior to add a sophisticated touch
- Staircases: Offers durability and aesthetic continuity in architectural designs
- Monuments and Sculptural Work: Due to its robust nature and availability in large blocks
Maintenance
- Cleaning: Regular sweeping and occasional wiping with a mild detergent or stone-specific cleaner
- Sealing: Recommended periodically (1-2 times per year) to maintain stain resistance
- Avoid: Harsh chemicals and acidic cleaners which could etch the surface over time
Cutting Sizes
- Common cutting sizes typically include:
- Tiles: 30x30 cm, 30x60 cm, 60x60 cm
- Slabs: Available in large sizes, often cut to fit specific project requirements
Surface Finish Options
- Polished: Provides a glossy and reflective surface, enhancing the stone's colors and patterns
- Honed: Offers a smooth, matte finish, reducing glare and showcasing the natural tones
- Flamed: Produces a textured surface, improving slip resistance, especially in outdoor applications
- Brushed: Yields a slightly textured finish with a softer look
- Bush-Hammered: Creates a completely textured surface for added slip resistance in exterior applications
Overall, Golden Hemp Medium Granite is a well-regarded material for its beautiful appearance, durability, and versatility in a range of architectural settings. It offers a timeless aesthetic paired with practical benefits for both interior and exterior applications.
