What Colour Is Uba Tuba Granite?
From a distance, Uba Tuba looks almost black. Up close, it reveals a deep green background with flecks of gold, bronze, copper and lighter green. Under bright light, the crystals catch the light and give the stone a subtle shimmer.
Variations of Uba Tuba
Because it is a natural stone, Uba Tuba varies between quarries and batches:
- Classic Uba Tuba — dark green-black with balanced gold flecks.
- Green Uba Tuba — more visible green tones.
- Gold Uba Tuba — more prominent gold and bronze flecks.
Always view your actual slab before cutting.
Other Names
Uba Tuba is also spelled Ubatuba and sometimes called Verde Ubatuba. The name comes from a coastal region of Brazil, where the stone has traditionally been quarried.
Why Choose Uba Tuba?
- Hides marks: dark and speckled, it conceals oil, haldi and crumbs.
- Low maintenance: dense and low-porosity, needing sealing only occasionally.
- Heat-resistant: perfect beside the stove.
- Classic look: suits both traditional and modern kitchens.
Care
Clean with warm soapy water and dry. Seal occasionally — dark, dense granites like Uba Tuba absorb very little. Avoid vinegar, bleach and abrasive powders.
