Emerald Pearl Granite is a deep, dark granite with a near-black and dark charcoal base densely populated with angular feldspar crystals in silver, white, and pale blue-grey that catch and reflect light across the surface. The crystals vary in size — some small and scattered, others larger and more prominent — creating a lively, luminous quality against the dark matrix. Subtle dark green undertones emerge within the base tone under certain light conditions, adding depth to what reads at first as a predominantly black stone.
The light-reflective quality of Emerald Pearl Granite finds its strongest expression in interior feature wall installations in transit facilities, government buildings, and mixed-use commercial interiors where a dark, crystalline stone contributes a sense of permanence and material weight to the space. Elevator cab surrounds, reception wall conditions, and full-height accent walls in contemporary office and civic interiors are equally well-served by the stone's dark, animated surface.
Reduced to a thin layer and bonded to an aluminum honeycomb backing, Emerald Pearl Granite panels achieve uniform thickness at a fraction of the weight of solid stone — making this dense, dark granite accessible across a range of interior wall assemblies where its reflective surface can be fully expressed at scale through the StonePly system.

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.
