Surface Details

Surface: Bluegrass
Finish: polished
Overview: Bluegrass is a polished quartzite from a bedrock quarry in Brazil. This stone offers a plethora of rich organic colors such as the predominately green color which comes from the mineral Fuchsite as well as cream, red, pink, purple, orange, gold, brown and black. This is a metamorphic stone which evolved from a sandstone due to extreme heat and pressure. During the polishing process, an epoxy resin is applied to the surface of the stone to fill in any natural pits, cracks or fissures that may exist. It is possible for some of the more minute pits that are too small to effectively hold the resin, to reopen during other finishing stages. However, this does not affect the durability, maintenance or beauty of the stone. Due to the qualities of the stone, the slabs are book-matched; meaning slab one and slab two will be cut and polished to create a mirror image of each other. These are then kept in sequence, which allows for a consistent flow in pattern. Finally, a mesh backing is adhered to the back of the stone to ensure safety while handling and fabricating the slab.
