Azul Bahia
In stock
Azul Bahia is an exquisite, rare natural stone from Brazil, highly prized for its striking deep blue colour, which is accented by grey, black, and sometimes white or green veining. Technically a granite with high quartz content (sometimes referred to as quartzite or sodalite syenite), its stunning appearance and durability make it a statement piece in luxurious interior design.
Appearance and Physical Properties
- Colour: The primary feature is its intense blue, which can range from sky blue to deep navy, with variations in shade between different slabs. The blue colour is due to the presence of the mineral sodalite.
- Pattern: It features dynamic and captivating patterns, often with veining and clustering in grey, black, and white tones that resemble a work of art or a precious tapestry.
- Durability: As a granite/quartzite blend, Azul Bahia is a very hard, durable, and long-lasting stone, offering high resistance to scratches, heat, and staining when properly sealed and maintained.
- Finish: It takes a polish very well, which enhances the depth of its colour and natural lustre, but is also available in honed, brushed, and other finishes
