Lemurian Blue Granite Panels by StonePly

Lemurian Blue Granite is a dark, dramatic stone with a deep blue-green and teal ground dominated by large labradorite feldspar crystals that produce intense flashes of electric blue, teal, and occasional gold iridescence. The phenomenon — known as labradorescence — shifts with viewing angle, meaning the stone presents differently depending on where an observer stands relative to the wall. The overall surface is richly textured and visually complex, with no two panels sharing the same distribution of color and pattern.

Projects where the stone is intended to function as a primary design element — rather than a background material — are where Lemurian Blue Granite makes the most sense. High-profile casino interiors, landmark hotel feature walls, and the public spaces of major entertainment venues are natural contexts for a stone this visually demanding. It has also found a place in courthouse lobbies, upscale mall anchor spaces, and the entrance halls of prominent institutional buildings where an immediate and lasting first impression is part of the design brief.

Few natural stones generate the kind of immediate visual response that Lemurian Blue Granite does, and StonePly's format — a thin stone face bonded to an aluminum honeycomb backing — ensures that response is available across large interior wall surfaces without the weight penalties that full stone would impose. Uniform panel thickness simplifies installation coordination, keeping the focus where it belongs: on the stone itself.

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.
