Product Description

Splendor Gold is quarried from a bedrock quarry in Brazil.This granite comes from the top level of a Delicatus quarry. Over millions of years, water has penetrated deep into this stone through small cracks and fissures, causing the iron oxide and other minerals to oxidize. The rich, gold tones are due to the oxidization that happened in the top ten to fifteen feet of the quarry. This granite has large chunks of quartz and feldspar. Production is limited due to the availability of blocks. During the polishing process, an epoxy resin is applied to the surface of the stone to fill in any natural pits, cracks or fissures that may exist. This does not affect the durability, maintenance or beauty of the stone. It is possible for some of the more minute pits that are too small to effectively hold the resin, to reopen during other finishing stages. However, this will not detract from the overall quality or appearance of the stone. Due to the qualities of the stone, the slabs are book-matched; meaning slab one and slab two will be cut and polished to create a mirror image of each other. These are then kept in sequence, which allows for a consistent flow in pattern. Finally, a mesh backing is adhered to the back of the stone to ensure safety while handling and fabricating the slab or tile. It is this process that produces the rich, vibrant gold tones that are visible in this stone. As a natural stone product, it is recommended that it be sealed to extend its longevity.
