SILKY SILVER (SOUTH GRANITE)

About SILKY SILVER (SOUTH GRANITE)

1. Material Identification

• Market Name: Silky Silver / Viscon White / Thunder White.

• Origin: South India (Quarried in the Madanapalle and Chittoor belt, Andhra Pradesh/Tamil Nadu border).

• Why "Silky"? Unlike normal granite which has dots (grains), this stone has long, flowing waves of grey and white. When polished, these waves create a satin or "silky" visual texture.

2. Visual Specifications

• Base Color: White to Off-White (Greyish tone).

• Pattern:

  • Movement: High movement. It features "rivers" or "clouds" of Charcoal Grey and Black flowing across the slab.

  • Variation: High. No two slabs are the same. Some are mostly white (premium), while others have heavy black waves (commercial).

  • Garnets: You may occasionally find tiny red/purple dots (garnets) in the veins, but fewer than in Colonial White.
