Antique Labradorite Granite
Description
Antique Labradorite granite is a dark, mysterious stone that displays a stunning natural phenomenon called labradorescence — dramatic flashes of blue, green and gold that appear as light moves across the surface.
This extraordinary optical effect makes Antique Labradorite one of the most visually dramatic granites available. No two slabs are alike, making it a truly unique addition to any high-end interior.
Whether used as a kitchen countertop, bathroom vanity, or feature wall, Antique Labradorite granite makes an unforgettable statement. Its dark base colour provides an excellent contrast backdrop for lighter cabinetry and fixtures.
Origin & Technical Profile
Origin: Imported from India, one of the world's largest granite producers.
What the slab looks like: A near-black base packed with labradorite feldspar crystals that throw blue and teal flashes when viewed from an angle.

Practical note: The colour play only appears in reflected light, so place it where people see it at an angle — an island top or a bar counter under pendant lights works better than a vertical wall. Clean with warm water and a pH-neutral soap; avoid bleach and abrasive powders that strip the sealer.
Technical figures are typical ranges for this type of stone, not lab results for one block. Every natural slab differs in colour and pattern, so please view the actual slab before it is cut.
