Baltic Brown is quarried in a bedrock quarry in Kymi, Finland. The size and
color of each block is fairly consistent between shipments and occasionally the
slabs may contain some black biotite crystal spots. The mineral composition of
Baltic Brown is: 55% Potash feldspar, 25% quartz, 11% plagioclase and 9% biotite
and hornblende. During the polishing process, an epoxy resin is applied to the
surface of the slabs to fill in any natural pits, cracks or fissures that may
exist in the stone. This does not affect the durability, maintenance or beauty
of the slab. 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 will not detract from the overall quality or appearance of the stone.
