Aurora Green in detail
About Aurora Green
Aurora Green is a natural quartzite u2014 sandstone that heat and pressure have recrystallised into an interlocking quartz structure. It looks like marble and wears like granite. A green ground is unusual enough to be memorable, and it works particularly well against pale walls and natural timber.
Quartzite is harder than granite and far less reactive than marble, so Aurora Green does what neither can on its own: it takes the look of a veined white stone onto a working kitchen worktop. It is porous enough to want sealing, and it holds up outdoors as well as in.
We supply Aurora Green as gangsaw slabs, cutter slabs, tiles and countertops, in 18 mm, 20 mm and 30 mm, finished to your specification. Slabs are graded for shade before packing so a single order ships as one visual lot, and cut-to-size components are measured against the approved drawing before they leave the floor.
Frequently asked
What sizes and thicknesses does Aurora Green come in?
Standard thicknesses are 18 mm, 20 mm and 30 mm. Slabs u2014 260u2013320 u00d7 150u2013190 cm; Tiles u2014 30u00d760, 60u00d760 cm; Custom cut-to-size. Anything outside these is cut to your drawing.
Which finishes are available?
We supply Aurora Green in Polished, Honed, Leathered and Brushed. The right one depends on the application u2014 tell us where the stone is going and we will recommend rather than guess.
What is Aurora Green best used for?
It is commonly specified for kitchen countertops, flooring, wall cladding, feature walls, exterior facades and table tops. Send us the drawing or describe the space and we will confirm whether it is the right material.
Does Aurora Green vary between slabs?
Yes. Aurora Green is quarried, so veining and background tone move from slab to slab. Quartzite is often bought for a single dramatic run, so tell us at enquiry stage if the slabs need to be sequenced or book-matched and we will select the lot accordingly.
Can Aurora Green be used outdoors?
Yes. Aurora Green is a natural stone with no resin in it, so ultraviolet light does not affect it and it handles a freeze-thaw cycle. Specify a honed or leathered finish for anything walked on outdoors so it stays grippy when wet.
How much maintenance does it need?
Seal it on installation and re-seal every year or two, because quartzite is porous even though it is hard. Day to day it needs only warm water and a pH-neutral cleaner. It will not etch from a lemon the way marble does.
Where is Aurora Green quarried?
Quarry origin for this shade is confirmed at enquiry stage u2014 ask the export desk and we will tell you exactly where the block comes from.
Can I get a sample before ordering?
Yes. We send physical samples of any shade in the catalogue before you commit, and for larger orders we will photograph the actual slabs allocated to you prior to crating.
How is it packed for export?
Film wrapping, EPE foam between every surface, edge and corner protection, then heat-treated fumigated timber crates on moisture-resistant pallets. Loading is supervised and photographed before the container is sealed.
