Bianco Sardo, Fine-grained granite quarries in Sardinia, Italy

Bianco Sardo granite presents a light grey background with dark mineral specks, creating a consistent pattern throughout the stone's surface.

The extraction of Bianco Sardo granite in Sardinia started during the industrial development of Italian stone quarries in the twentieth century.

This granite represents a fundamental element in modern Italian architecture, appearing in numerous buildings across the Mediterranean region.

The material maintains a density between 2590 and 2690 kg/m³, with slabs measuring 305 by 178 centimeters in standard dimensions.

The stone's crystalline structure contains Plagioclase, quartz, Biotite, and Alcalifeldspati, resulting in exceptional resistance to environmental factors.
