Verde Maritaca

Über Verde Maritaca

Verde Maritaca is a medium-grained migmatite from Candeias/Campo Belo, Minas Gerais, Brazil. The stone is commercially sold as 'granite' across the trade but is petrographically a migmatite — a high-grade metamorphic rock with granitic and gneissic layering. Its appearance is characterised by an irregularly clouded green pattern of varying tones. DNSA confirms frost resistance, acid resistance, and durable outdoor polishability. It is widely exported and used for interior and exterior applications worldwide. The 'Verde Candeias' trade name refers to the same or a very closely related quarry material from the same Candeias area. Search results for this stone also surface several unrelated green granites (Olive Green, Verde Savana, Verde São Francisco) which have been excluded from this record.
