Labrador Silver Pearl Granite, formerly known as Blue Pearl Fjord, is a stunning natural stone renowned for its unique combination of shimmering silver crystals and a dark greyish background. Quarried in the scenic Brötsö Island, Tjøme, located in the Oslofjord region of Norway, this granite variety boasts a distinct appearance that evokes a sense of elegance and natural beauty.

The most prominent feature of Labrador Silver Pearl Granite is its large content of silver sparkling crystals. These sparkling crystals vary in size and are scattered generously across the surface of the stone. When light interacts with these crystals, they create a mesmerizing play of light and reflections, giving the granite an almost pearlescent quality. This shimmering effect adds a touch of opulence and dynamism to the stone's appearance.

Contrasting the silver crystals is the granite's dark greyish background. This background color serves as a striking canvas that highlights the silver crystals, allowing them to stand out prominently. The dark greyish hue adds depth and richness to the stone, enhancing its overall visual appeal. The combination of the silver crystals and the dark background results in a captivating juxtaposition of light and shadow, contributing to the granite's alluring aesthetics.

Formerly known as Blue Pearl Fjord, this granite has been associated with both its vibrant blue reflections and its connection to the tranquil waters of the fjords. The name change to Labrador Silver Pearl better reflects the stone's prominent silver characteristics while still acknowledging its historical ties.

Labrador Silver Pearl Granite, often referred to as Lundhs Silver, is recognized for its homogenous color and pattern of crystals. This consistency ensures that projects utilizing this granite maintain a uniform and sophisticated appearance. Its luxurious and captivating visual qualities make it a popular choice for a range of interior and exterior applications, including countertops, wall cladding, flooring, and decorative accents. The granite's ability to create an upscale and modern atmosphere, combined with its unique sparkle and dark greyish tones, makes it an excellent choice for those seeking to add a touch of elegance to their architectural and design projects.
