Description
Lanhelin Granite, also known by several other names such as Granit Normandia Azzurro, Blau Lanhelin Granit, Granit Bleu De Lanhelin, and Celtic Blue Granite, is a type of natural stone quarried in France. It is a distinctive and sought-after granite known for its dark gray-blue color, which gives it a unique and elegant appearance.
The granite's dark gray-blue hue is the result of its mineral composition, primarily consisting of quartz, feldspar, and various dark-colored minerals such as mica and amphibole. These minerals contribute to its characteristic color and add depth to its overall appearance.
Lanhelin Granite is well-regarded for its durability and strength, making it a popular choice for a wide range of applications in both interior and exterior design. Its sturdiness and resistance to weathering make it suitable for various construction purposes, such as countertops, flooring, wall cladding, and monuments. The granite's attractive appearance and rich color variation add a touch of sophistication to any architectural or decorative project.
As with any natural stone, the exact appearance of Lanhelin Granite can vary from one quarry to another, and even within the same quarry, due to geological factors and the presence of different minerals. This uniqueness is part of its appeal, as it allows for a diverse array of design possibilities and ensures that each installation will be one-of-a-kind.
Given its origin in France, Lanhelin Granite is also sometimes referred to as "French Blue Granite." It is often exported to various countries around the world, where it is cherished by architects, designers, and homeowners alike for its beauty and durability.
