Turquoise Granite is a commercial trade name for a rare and exotic natural stone. Geologically, it is often not a true granite in the strict geological sense. It is typically an amazonite-bearing syenite, monzonite, pegmatite, or granite, exceptionally rich in a specific mineral. Its defining feature is its striking blue-green color, which comes from the presence of amazonite (microcline K-feldspar), a vibrant variety of feldspar. This stone is primarily quarried in Brazil (with limited occurrences in Iran) and is also known by other trade names, such as “Blue Fantasy,” “Amazonita,” or “Amazonite Granite.” It is prized for its unique beauty and is considered a luxury material in the stone market.
Turquoise Granite is a very strong and durable material. It is a dense stone with low porosity, which means it does not absorb liquids easily. This hardness comes from its mineral composition, which is primarily silicate-based (feldspar and quartz). These strong physical properties make it a practical choice for various applications, as it can withstand wear and tear. Its structure is solid, though, like many exotic stones, it may have natural fissures that are treated during processing to ensure a stable and smooth final slab.
This stone is primarily composed of quartz and feldspar. The unique blue-green color is specifically caused by amazonite, a form of feldspar. The dramatic veins that run through the stone are typically made of white quartz, grey feldspar, or dark clusters of mica, creating a strong contrast with the colorful base.
The base color ranges from a pale, light blue-green to a deep, vibrant turquoise. The pattern is its main feature and is highly irregular and flowing. It can show sweeping, linear veins or a more broken, jumbled pattern called brecciated. Veins are usually white, grey, beige, and sometimes include brown or rust-colored tones.
Typical bulk density ~2.62–2.75 g/cm³. Water absorption (by weight) usually ~0.1–0.4%, indicating low open porosity. Some highly brecciated/resin-treated lots can be toward the upper end.
With a Mohs hardness rating of approximately 6 to 7, this stone is very hard and highly resistant to scratching. It is harder than glass and common kitchen knives. Compressive strength is typically ~130–220 MPa (granite family range), supporting heavy service loads.
As an exotic natural stone, its visible “features” are part of its character. It is common for this material to have natural fissures or small pits. These are not flaws but part of its formation. During processing, these features are typically stabilized with clear resin and, where needed, mesh backing and polished to create a smooth, stable slab.
The main appeal of Turquoise Granite is its unique visual look. Its vibrant color and complex patterns are best shown with a polished finish, which creates a high-gloss, reflective surface that makes the colors appear deep and rich. While mechanically very durable, care practices should reflect its low but non-zero absorbency and the presence of factory resins.
This stone achieves a very high gloss when polished, which amplifies its vivid color and sense of depth. It can also be finished in other ways. A honed finish provides a matte, non-reflective surface that mutes the color slightly. A leathered finish creates a slightly textured, tactile surface that is less shiny.
When polished, the surface is perfectly smooth, glassy, and feels cool to the touch. A leathered or brushed finish offers a more tactile experience, following the stone’s natural contours with a slightly bumpy or undulating texture. This finish is popular for hiding fingerprints and adding a different stylistic element.
Constituent minerals are generally UV-stable; however, some resins/adhesives can yellow with prolonged UV exposure, and polished finishes can lose gloss outdoors. With frost-resistant selection and a textured finish (flamed/brush), exterior use is technically feasible, though uncommon mainly due to cost.
Granite-family stones are broadly resistant to common household acids; incidental contact with lemon juice or vinegar typically does not “etch” as it does on marble. Avoid hydrofluoric-acid-containing cleaners that attack silicates. Sealing helps with stain resistance but does not change intrinsic acid resistance.
Turquoise Granite is most valued for its large, flowing patterns, so it is most commonly processed and sold as large slabs. These slabs are ideal for creating seamless countertops and large feature walls where the pattern can be displayed without interruption. However, it is also available in smaller, standard formats like tiles for flooring or backsplashes. Fabricators can also custom-cut the stone to fit specific project requirements, such as tabletops or vanity tops, directly from the larger slabs.
This is the most common format for Turquoise Granite. Slabs are typically 20 mm (2 cm) or 30 mm (3 cm) thick and come in large sizes. They are ideal for kitchen countertops, islands, and large-scale wall cladding, as they showcase the stone’s dramatic, continuous patterns with minimal seams.
While less common than slabs, the stone is available in standard tile sizes, such as 12″x24″ or 24″x24″. These are used for flooring, wall coverings, or shower surrounds. Using tiles can be a more cost-effective way to incorporate this luxury stone into a design.
Fabricators can cut slabs into custom dimensions for specific projects. This includes non-standard countertop shapes, bathroom vanity tops, stair treads, fireplace surrounds, or custom-designed furniture pieces like dining tables. This allows for precise tailoring to a design’s needs.
This stone is often cut into small mosaic tiles, which are arranged in various patterns like herringbone, hexagon, or classic squares. Mosaics are perfect for creating detailed backsplashes, shower floors, or decorative accent borders that complement the larger slabs used elsewhere in the space.
This form is rare in practice due to cost and color-matching.
Thin strips of the stone can be fabricated from tiles or the edges of slabs to create matching skirting or baseboards. This provides a clean and continuous look, connecting the floor to the wall with the same luxury material.
This is the raw format extracted from the quarry. These large, rough blocks are sold to stone processing factories around the world. The factories then use specialized saws to cut these blocks into the slabs that are eventually sold to distributors and fabricators.
Due to its high cost and stunning visual appeal, Turquoise Granite is almost exclusively used for high-impact, luxury interior applications. Its most popular use is for kitchen countertops and large kitchen islands, especially designs that feature a “waterfall” edge where the stone continues down the side. It is also widely used as a vertical “statement” wall in living rooms or lobbies, or as a full-height backsplash in a kitchen. It is suitable for flooring in high-end homes, but because of its cost, it is often used in smaller areas like entryways. For exterior applications, use is possible with appropriate finish and frost-resistant selection, but it is uncommon chiefly for economic reasons.
It is not possible to provide a specific price for Turquoise Granite because the cost varies significantly based on several factors. As an exotic and rare stone, it is in the upper tier of natural stone pricing. The final cost for a project depends on the specific quality of the slab, the complexity of the fabrication, and the logistics required to get the stone to the customer. Instead of a fixed price, it is more helpful to understand the factors that determine its value.
The most important price factor is the stone’s grade. Slabs with the most vibrant, deep turquoise color and beautiful, dramatic veining are graded higher and are much more expensive. Slabs that are paler or have less interesting patterns are considered a lower grade and cost less.
Large blocks that can be cut into big, clean slabs are more valuable. If these slabs can be “bookmatched”—meaning two slabs are cut and polished to mirror each other—they are considered premium. This effect is highly desired for feature walls and costs more.
The quality of the factory’s processing affects the price. This includes the quality of the resin used to fill natural fissures, the perfection of the high-gloss polish, and the precise, consistent thickness of the slab. Slabs from top-tier processors command a higher price.
A standard polished finish is the most common and is usually included in the base price. Custom finishes, such as honed (matte) or leathered (textured), require additional processing steps and will increase the final cost of the slab.
Slabs that are 3 cm thick are more expensive than the standard 2 cm slabs because they contain more material and are heavier. Similarly, larger-format tiles or very large, custom-cut pieces will carry a premium price due to the higher material yield and specialized cutting required.
This stone is quarried in specific locations, primarily Brazil. The cost of transportation and logistics to ship these heavy blocks and slabs around the world is a major factor in the final price. Low availability or high demand for specific patterns can also increase the cost.
The journey of Turquoise Granite begins in a quarry, where massive blocks are carefully extracted from the earth. Diamond wire saws are used to cut the stone from the mountain without shattering the valuable material. These raw blocks are then transported to a processing factory. At the factory, they are cut into slabs of specific thicknesses, like 2 cm or 3 cm, using large gang saws or multi-wire saws. Because it is an exotic stone, the slabs are often reinforced with a mesh backing and treated with a clear resin to fill any natural micro-fissures, which increases their stability. Finally, the slabs are sent through automated polishing lines to achieve their signature high-gloss finish.
After processing, each slab goes through a strict quality control inspection. Slabs are checked for any flaws, their thickness is verified for consistency, and they are graded based on their color and pattern quality. Once approved, they are carefully packed for transport. Slabs are bundled together, with protective plastic sheets between each polished surface, and then secured in wooden A-frames or strong bundles. These bundles are loaded into shipping containers for export, making their way to distributors and fabricators worldwide, ready to be turned into a final product.
Proper installation and sealing are the most important steps to protect Turquoise Granite. It must be installed by a professional fabricator. Use white, non-staining, polymer-modified thin-set for tile or appropriate stone-grade adhesives/epoxies for slab work. After installation and grouting, the stone should be sealed. A high-quality impregnating (penetrating) sealer is recommended to reduce water and oil staining; it does not make the surface acid-proof.
For long-term care, daily cleaning should be done only with warm water or a special cleaner that is pH-neutral. Avoid acidic or HF-based cleaners and abrasives; incidental acidic spills are unlikely to etch but may leave a mark if allowed to dwell. Wipe up promptly. The sealer will wear down over time and must be re-applied. Typical reseal interval is 12–18 months depending on use; you can test this by dripping water on the surface—if the stone darkens or absorbs the water after a few minutes, it is time to re-seal.
