Baltic Brown Granite
Description
Baltic Brown granite is a rich, warm Finnish stone featuring a beautiful blend of brown, black and beige crystal patterns. This granite is quarried from the ancient bedrock of Finland and is renowned for its exceptional durability and timeless beauty.
One of the most durable granites available, Baltic Brown is extremely resistant to scratching, staining and heat — making it a perfect choice for busy kitchen countertops and high-traffic flooring applications.
The warm, earthy tones of Baltic Brown granite complement a wide range of interior styles, from traditional to contemporary. Its consistent pattern and colour make it ideal for large projects requiring matched slabs.
Origin & Technical Profile
Origin: Imported from Finland. Baltic Brown is a rapakivi granite from south-east Finland, recognisable by its round brown feldspar crystals ringed with dark green-black rims.
What the slab looks like: Large, rounded brown and copper feldspar crystals with dark rims, set in a black-and-cream matrix.

Practical note: The coarse, round crystals make every slab look busy, so it suits plain flat-panel cabinets; seams are easier to hide than on veined stones because the pattern has no direction. 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.
