Colonial Gold Granite

Colonial Gold Granite is a stunning cream and white stone that is loved for its golden cream tomes. Colonial Gold Granite is quarried in India and is called as café cream granite.

Due to the high level of variation between slabs this granite has a variety of different appearance from faraway.

The overall cream color of this stone is provided by the stunning bedrock. The bedrock is usually very uniform in color that creates good light. The stone is littered with small grey mineral deposits, these are quartz and can range in color from a very light grey through to a medium grey. These stunning little crystals add a shine and sparkle to the stone. They are usually quite infrequent and make up 10% of the stones overall mass.

These light stained cabinets complement the tones of these countertops beautifully. The large golden patches that give the granite its name is the most predominant feature of the slabs. They can range in color from very light amber and all the way through to a stunning warm golden tone.

They are usually found in both isolated patches and large long winding veins. The granite complements the grey quartz deposits and the cream bedrock beautifully creating a warm and luxurious effect.

Littered through the stones are the smaller and darker mineral deposits. These are usually very dark brown in color. These are usually very dark or even burgundy in color. They add a great little stark hidden feature that is not usually visible from afar.

All aspects of the stone’s appearances can vary. Some slabs can be nearly covered in this golden mineral - giving a much darker and richer appearances. These slabs look much less uniform from afar and look much busier. At the other end of the scale are slabs that have nearly no golden minerals and these look much lighter and more uniform creating an elegant feel. No one slab can be said to be better than the other and everyone has their personal tastes.

The light color of this granite means that it will not show up the finger prints easily and crumbs and dirt will be reasonably hidden. This stone is occasionally stain if you do not take care of it. The more golden minerals that are present in the stone will affect the overall appearance of the room.

When combined with light or white cabinets, colonial gold countertops are a lovely accent to the stark white.
