Earth Glitter Granite is a dark, intensely layered granite with a deep espresso and near-black base swept by undulating bands of burgundy, rust, and dark brown that move across the surface in bold, wave-like formations. Silver and white mineral concentrations cut through the darker tones in jagged, irregular streaks, catching light and introducing sharp contrast against the deep, rich base. Fine metallic flecks are distributed throughout the matrix, adding a subtle luminosity that animates the surface under direct light.
A stone with this level of depth and movement commands interior spaces without competing with them — making Earth Glitter Granite a natural specification for dramatic feature walls in luxury hotel suites, high-end private clubs, upscale restaurant interiors, and statement walls in contemporary residential great rooms where the stone's dark, layered intensity defines the atmosphere of the space.
Taking a thin layer of Earth Glitter Granite and bonding it to an aluminum honeycomb backing yields a panel of consistent, uniform thickness at a substantially reduced weight. The StonePly system makes this granite accessible across a range of interior wall assemblies and feature installations — preserving every detail of the stone's rich, animated surface throughout.

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.
