Labradorite Blue Sintered Stone

Labradorite Blue Sintered Stone is an engineered material designed to replicate the unique appearance of natural labradorite, characterized by a dark black base with distinctive blue iridescent areas. This artificial stone exhibits a transparent to opaque quality with vitreous to oily chips, mimicking the mesmerizing visual effects found in genuine labradorite. The manufacturing process involves producing the material in various thicknesses, including 0.6mm, 0.8mm, 10.00mm, 12.00mm, 14.00mm, 16.00mm, 18.00mm, and 20.00mm. During production, a matrix of minerals is heated (or sintered) to form a solid, impenetrable mass.

Labradorite Blue Sintered Stone combines the aesthetic appeal of natural labradorite with the enhanced durability and versatility of an engineered material. It can be utilized in various applications, including kitchen and bathroom countertops, commercial tops, ornamental features, stairs, interior and exterior wall and floor applications, mosaics, waterjet patterns, wall panels, table tops, columns, and fireplaces. This artificial stone offers a captivating alternative to natural labradorite, providing consistent patterns and improved performance characteristics.
