0205-GR82 Golden Granite

Product Description: One of our most popular and versatile stones, Golden Granite is a dream material for designers, carvers and masons. The hardness of this material renders a very uniform texture with our hand finishes. With a smaller, more compact grain size, this stone tends to have a lower rate of water absorption. The presence of the mineral pyrite in the matrix causes it to redden and oxidize when exposed to the elements over time.
