Testing
- Density:
- 2680 - 2710 kg/cm³
- Flexural Strength:
- 15 - 17 MPa
- Compressive Strength:
- 140 - 190 MPa
- Stone texture:
- a medium to dark green base color, often enriched with subtle variations of olive and forest-green tones, sometimes interspersed with fine black, grey, and occasional lighter crystalline flecks that create a natural depth and gentle movement across the surface. Its overall appearance is usually uniform to moderately variegated, without strong dramatic veining, giving it a calm but richly textured green landscape effect suitable for large surface applications. In terms of texture and structure, it is a coarse- to medium-grained granite composed of interlocking quartz, feldspar, and minor mica minerals, forming a dense crystalline structure typical of Brazilian granites; when polished, the stone reveals a smooth, reflective finish while still showing its granular mineral composition and natural crystalline sparkle, contributing to both its durability and visually organic character
Description
Verde Venus Granite is a Brazilian natural stone typically described as having a medium to dark green base color, often enriched with subtle variations of olive and forest-green tones, sometimes interspersed with fine black, grey, and occasional lighter crystalline flecks that create a natural depth and gentle movement across the surface. Its overall appearance is usually uniform to moderately variegated, without strong dramatic veining, giving it a calm but richly textured green landscape effect suitable for large surface applications. In terms of texture and structure, it is a coarse- to medium-grained granite composed of interlocking quartz, feldspar, and minor mica minerals, forming a dense crystalline structure typical of Brazilian granites; when polished, the stone reveals a smooth, reflective finish while still showing its granular mineral composition and natural crystalline sparkle, contributing to both its durability and visually organic character.
Visual Characteristics:
- Color: Medium to dark green base enriched with olive and forest-green tones.
- Texture: Contains fine black, grey, and occasional lighter crystalline flecks.
- Pattern: Uniform to moderately variegated with a calm, richly textured green landscape effect.
- Finish: When polished, reveals a smooth, reflective surface with a natural crystalline sparkle.
Texture and Structure:
- Grain: Coarse- to medium-grained.
- Composition: Interlocking quartz, feldspar, and minor mica.
- Origin: Quarried in Brazil.
- Features: Dense crystalline structure typical of Brazilian granites.
Physical and Mechanical Properties
- Water Absorption:Generally low, indicating good resistance to moisture.
- Density:Typically around 2.68 - 2.71 g/cm³.
- Flexural Strength:Approximately 15 - 17 MPa, contributing to its ability to withstand bending forces.
- Compressive Strength:Often ranges from 140 - 190 MPa, indicating strong resistance to crushing forces.
- Hardness:Rated high on the Mohs scale, typically around 6-7.
- Porosity:Low porosity, enhancing its durability and resistance to staining.
- Slip Resistance:Varies depending on the finish; polished finish might be less slip-resistant compared to honed or textured finishes.
Chemical and Mineral Composition
- Quartz: 25-30%
- Feldspar: 50-60%
- Mica (including Biotite): 5-10%
- Other Minerals (including iron oxides): Minor quantities
Usage
Common Applications:
-
Countertops
-
Flooring
-
Wall cladding
-
Staircases
-
Outdoor landscaping features
- Residential and commercial spaces due to durability and aesthetics.
Maintenance
- Routine Cleaning: Use pH-neutral cleaners and avoid abrasive materials.
- Sealing: Regular sealing recommended to maintain surface integrity and resistance to staining.
- Avoid: Strong acids and alkalis which can damage the surface.
Cutting Sizes
- Common Sizes (cm):
- Slabs: 2 cm and 3 cm thickness
- Tiles: Customizable, but common sizes include 30x30 cm, 60x30 cm, or 60x60 cm.
Surface Finish Options
- Polished:Provides a high-gloss, reflective surface. Enhances the stone’s natural colors and patterns.
- Honed:Offers a smooth, matte finish. Less reflective, providing a more subtle appearance.
- Brushed/Antiqued:Texture feel with a weathered look. Adds character and improves slip resistance.
- Flamed:Rough texture achieved by applying high heat. Excellent for outdoor applications due to enhanced slip resistance.
- Leathered:Textured finish with a soft sheen. Conceals fingerprints and smudges, suitable for busy environments.
Verde Venus Granite combines durability with visual appeal, making it suitable for a variety of applications in both residential and commercial settings while offering various finish options to meet specific aesthetic and functional needs.
