Description

Granite with a wide range of tones from white-yellow to brown-yellow. It has a granular texture ranging from medium to medium coarse grains with a slight porphyritic tendency of two micas, and with slight alteration and incipient foliation. Often used as paving slabs both indoors and outdoors, so long as it is sheltered. Some types are more durable and can be used outdoor in all weathers.
