Amazonite Granite Panels by StonePly
Amazonite Granite is a vivid turquoise and sea-green granite with broad, angular color breaks and layered movement in taupe, charcoal, and soft ivory. The stone has a bold, dimensional character, with shifting transitions that create a dramatic and highly expressive surface.
For exterior use, Amazonite Granite can be specified for rainscreen cladding, entry portals, architectural screening elements, and landscape feature walls. Inside, it works especially well on vertical surfaces such as lobby statement walls, hospitality focal installations, bar fronts, and feature partitions where strong color and pattern are the priority.
Fabricated with StonePly’s honeycomb composite construction, Amazonite Granite is bonded to an aluminum honeycomb backing to create lightweight panels that significantly reduce panel weight while maintaining the full look of the stone. The composite build supports efficient handling and installation without changing the surface appearance.

Additional Reading
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.
