King White Alaska White

Über King White Alaska White

Alaska White (DNSA: WHITE ALASKA, Stein 4192) is a Precambrian granulite quarried in northern Ceará State, Brazil (NW of Fazenda Memória, NNW of Santa Quitéria). Despite its petrographic classification as granulite (metamorphic), it is marketed commercially as granite. The stone is fine-grained and largely isotropic. DNSA records it as available and occasionally used in Germany. The 'King White' prefix in the input name is a supplier branding not found in DNSA or StoneContact — analogous to other supplier-prefixed input names in this dataset. Note: 'Alaska White' is a highly overloaded trade name: SC also lists a White Alaska Quartzite (s8179, Brazilian quartzite — different petrographic type), Indian Alaska White Granite (s21410, from India — different origin), and Blue Alaska Granite (s15267, blue-coloured stone — different stone). This record covers only the Brazilian granulite/granite. No technical properties are available from any source.
