Blue Pearl Granite
Quarried in: Norway
Blue Pearl Granite is a course grain, deep blue coloured granite that is quarried in Norway. The silver coloured reflective minerals present in this granite sparkle when subjected to sunlight, giving the granite a shimmering appearance. This granite is very effective when designed with outline flashed or carved floral designs. Use of wide fonts deeply sandblasted into the granite is recommended.
Regal Red Granite
Quarried in: India
Regal Red granite is a medium grain ruby coloured granite that is quarried in South Africa. The deep colour of this granite provides a high level of contrast when lettered using any font. Outline flashed or carved designs are particularly effective on this granite.
Supreme Black Granite
Quarried in: Asia
Supreme Black Granite is a fine-grained jet black imported granite. This granite has a very consistent colour that gives a high level of contrast between lettering and polished granite. The fine grain of this granite provides an excellent surface for detailed sandblasting of any design, particularly shadow toned and diamond etched scenes. Supreme Black gives superior results using any font.
Britz Blue Granite
Quarried in: South Africa
Britz Blue is a medium grain, charcoal coloured granite that is quarried in South Africa. The rich colour of this granite provides an excellent surface for detailed sandblasting of any design, particularly shadow toned scenes. Britz Blue gives superior results using any font.
