Royal Green Granite

Royal Green Granite is a highly durable and visually appealing natural stone, characterized by its light to medium moss-green base color, interspersed with black, grey, and occasional white mineral flecks, creating a classic salt-and-pepper speckled appearance. This granite is quarried in Raniwara, Jalore District, Rajasthan, India. It's suitable for large-scale architectural applications due to its consistent appearance and robustness.

Physical and Mechanical Properties:

• Water Absorption:Low, typically less than 0.45%, indicating low porosity and high resistance to staining.

• Density:Approximately 2,660 - 2,720 kg/m³, contributing to its durability and strength.

• Flexural Strength:Around 14-18 MPa, providing good resistance to bending and breaking under load.

• Compressive Strength:Typically between 180-220 MPa, indicating excellent load-bearing capacity.

• Hardness:Ranges from 6 to 7 on the Mohs scale, showcasing its resistance to scratches and abrasion.

• Porosity:Very low, contributing to the stone's overall strength and resistance to wear.

• Slip Resistance:Good, especially when a textured surface finish is used, making it suitable for flooring applications.

Chemical and Mineral Compositions (% by weight):

• Quartz:30-35%

• Feldspar (Orthoclase and Plagioclase):40-50%

• Mica (Biotite and/or Muscovite):10-15%

• Other Minerals (e.g., Hornblende, Magnetite, etc.):5-10%

Uses:

Architectural Applications:

• Exterior cladding

• Interior wall panels

• Flooring and staircases
