Verde Ubatuba is quarried from a bedrock quarry in
Espirito Santo, Brazil. It is composed mainly of dark green medium-large
crystals. After the blocks are cut into slabs, oxidation starts to take place,
which produces the brown spots that may be visible in this stone. 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. |
