3 Best Exotic Granite Colors to Design Everlasting Spaces

Granite worktops and flooring are renowned for their exceptional durability and resistance to daily wear and tear. Although granite has faced competition from the growing popularity of quartz, nothing matches its versatile range of colors and unparalleled strength.

Granite is not limited to absolute black—at Ultra Stone, we offer over 250 colors for you to explore. If you’re looking to create a show-stopping interior, the following exotic granite colors will leave you inspired.

Lemurian Blue

Rare and exclusive, Lemurian Blue granite brings dramatic depth and elegance to kitchens and bathrooms with its striking teal and blue-green crystalline patterns set against a deep black background. Its intricate greenish veining adds a surreal quality to any space.

Iridescent labradorite inclusions scattered throughout the slab interact beautifully with natural light, enhancing the stone’s natural appeal. Design statement countertops and accent walls with premium Lemurian Blue granite to create a truly mesmerizing ambiance.

Copacabana

Bold and impactful, Copacabana is a stunning black-and-white granite quarried in Brazil. Featuring a deep black background accentuated by sweeping white veins, this exotic granite creates visual depth when paired with neutral or light wood-tone cabinetry.

Elaborate white and beige veins meander across the dark surface, delivering a striking contrast and a sense of movement. Copacabana granite brings artistic elegance and bold energy to wall cladding, worktops, and other decorative features.

Azul Aran

A true Spanish gem, Azul Aran is celebrated for its sophisticated appeal and outstanding durability. This granite boasts a beautiful slate-toned background interwoven with silver and white patterns.

Reflective metallic inclusions throughout the slab create a shimmering effect, particularly in well-lit spaces. Its balanced interplay of light and dark tones sets it apart from other design elements. Additionally, its uniform veining pattern makes it an excellent choice for cohesive, clutter-free interiors.

These exotic granite colors, with their unique aesthetics and unmatched strength, are perfect for designing luxurious yet functional spaces.

Their resistance to external factors such as scratching, staining, rain, UV rays, and snow ensures the longevity of both residential and commercial spaces. Unlike quartz, granite does not warp or discolor with prolonged sun exposure, making it an ideal material for outdoor applications.

And that’s not all—we have even more exotic colors for you to explore! Visit Ultra Stone’s showrooms in New York and Pennsylvania to discover a vast selection of natural and engineered stones.

Rock Swag Tournament Round 1: Igneous Rocks Part 1

Pink or White?

Both of these rocks are GRANITE which means they are coarse-grained (phaneritic) rocks that contain at least 20% quartz and no more than 10% mafic minerals. The rest is some kind of feldspar. Mafic minerals are the black grains you see in the samples above and are most likely the minerals pyroxene, amphibole, or biotite.

The distinction between these two granites comes with the type of feldspar contained in the rock.

The feldspar content in alkali granite is almost entirely orthoclase (aka k-spar or potassium feldspar). The pink grains in this rock are orthoclase crystals. Fun fact, my dad's headstone is an alkali granite and the specific variety used is called "North American Pink."

Other alkali granite samples.

The feldspars that make up plagiogranite (also known as tonalite) are almost entirely plagioclase feldspar, which contain calcium or sodium instead of potassium. These are typically dark grey to white in color. In this particular sample, the white grains are sodium feldspar (aka albite).

Hi.

Image description: A screenshot from Discord. It says "Just typed up this gem: I often talk about disassembly drone instincts and solver drone instincts, but I will never let CU!Uzi forget that worker drone instincts do exist, and matter of fact reside deep, deep inside her, waiting for just the right motivation to awaken and completely take over. Those who don't play Terraria may not understand why she is drooling uncontrollably and twitching like a madwoman at the sight of granite, but the color, the texture, she can't look away, and if she is willing to pick up that copper pickaxe and expend a little energy, it's all hers for the taking and nobody can stop her."
