Kashmir White Granite
Description
Kashmir White is one of the best-known white granites — a stunning white stone, supplied by FB Marble from Pakistani quarries, featuring distinctive burgundy and grey garnet crystals scattered throughout its bright white base.
The combination of the bright white background and the contrasting dark garnet crystals creates a visually striking pattern that is both dramatic and elegant. Kashmir White granite is one of the most popular choices for kitchen countertops across Pakistan.
Highly durable and relatively easy to maintain, Kashmir White granite brings a bright, clean and luxurious quality to any space. It pairs exceptionally well with dark cabinetry, creating a bold and sophisticated contrast that never goes out of style.

Origin: Quarried in Pakistan and supplied by FB Marble from local quarries, so lead times and transport costs are lower than for imported stone. The small burgundy dots are garnet crystals.
