Testing
- Water Absorption:
- <0.45%
- Density:
- 2660 - 2730 kg/m³
- Flexural Strength:
- 13 - 17 MPa
- Compressive Strength:
- 160 - 180 MPa
- Stone texture:
- a rich golden-yellow to golden-brown base color, often blended with warm beige and honey tones, and enhanced by scattered brown, grey, and occasional darker mineral specks that create a lively yet balanced ornamental pattern across the surface. The appearance can vary from more uniform golden fields to areas with subtle veining or denser speckling, giving each slab a unique but consistently warm and elegant character . In texture and structure, it is a medium to coarse-grained crystalline granite composed mainly of interlocking quartz and feldspar, resulting in a dense, durable stone with low porosity that takes a strong polish and highlights its depth of color and natural granular movement
Description
Romano Gold Granite is an exquisite natural stone known for its rich golden-yellow to golden-brown base color. This granite is particularly admired for its warm beige and honey tones, complemented by scattered brown, grey, and occasional darker mineral specks. These elements combine to create a lively and balanced ornamental pattern across the surface. The appearance of Romano Gold Granite can vary between more uniform golden fields to areas with subtle veining or denser speckling, making each slab unique while maintaining a consistently warm and elegant character.
Physical and Mechanical Properties:
- Density:Approximately 2.66 - 2.73 g/cm³
- Water Absorption:Low, typically less than 0.45%
- Compressive Strength:Approximately 160 - 180 MPa
- Flexural Strength:Typically around 13 - 17 MPa
- Hardness:Mohs scale rating of about 6 - 7
- Porosity:Very low, contributing to its durability and resistance to moisture
- Slip Resistance:Varies depending on surface finish, typically high when honed or flamed
Chemical and Mineral Composition (% by weight):
- Quartz:Approximately 25-35%
- Feldspar:Approximately 45-60% (including both orthoclase and plagioclase)
- Mica:Approximately 5-10%
- Other Minerals:Hematite, Biotite, etc., contributing to the darker specks
Usage:
