Alexandrita Granite Panels by StonePly
Alexandrita Granite is a green granite with flowing bands of sage, moss, and soft olive layered in sweeping, horizontal movement. Subtle undertones of gray-blue and muted sand weave through the surface, while gentle mineral transitions create a fluid, almost painterly composition across the slab.
For exterior architecture, Alexandrita Granite can be specified for ventilated rainscreen façades, entry feature walls, outdoor hospitality installations, and integrated site walls where its organic movement complements surrounding landscape elements. On interior vertical applications, it brings depth to lobby statement walls, bar fronts, feature niches, and elevator lobby surrounds in projects seeking a natural yet refined palette.
StonePly granite panels make it possible to incorporate Alexandrita Granite into lightweight cladding assemblies without sacrificing the character of full-thickness stone. The honeycomb-backed system supports efficient installation and long-term performance, offering architects greater design freedom for both exterior envelopes and interior wall systems.

Other than diamonds, rubies, and sapphires, granite is the hardest natural stone. Granite is the preferred stone for exterior cladding as it is known for its strength and resistance to the elements. Unlike marble, granite is a very low maintenance choice for your building exterior; it is extremely resistant to heat, scratching, and stains.
Quarried all over the world, granite comes in a wide variety of colors. Typically you find granite finished with a high polish to show off the beautiful array of colors and natural grain. Granite's appearance is phenomenal for exterior applications or interior accents but can sometimes look too "busy" in confined spaces. To meet the need of current trends, granite can be honed, sandblasted, or have other textures applied to soften its natural tones and provide a very aesthetically pleasing panel.
Granite is not only found in commercial cladding applications but is a favorite for counter tops and flooring as well. The stone is extremely durable and easily maintained and cleaned. Being harder than marble and limestone, granite surpasses other stones in its ability to resist staining and acidic materials.
If your requirements call for a stone that has permanence, enduring texture and color, along with complete freedom from deterioration and maintenance, then granite is an ideal candidate for your project.
