Among different types of granite, Green Granite holds a special position due to its unique beauty.
This granite appears in a wide color range, from dark green to light green, and in any environment, it evokes a sense of nature, freshness, and vitality.

Like all granites, green granite shares common granite characteristics. It contains natural pigments, waves, and white mineral veins, which are typical features of granitic stones.

Due to its cool green tone, green granite creates a refreshing feeling and is therefore an excellent option for warm climates.
It is also a strong response to the needs of architects searching artistic expression in modern architectural projects.

Introduction to Green Granite:

Green Granite is considered one of the most distinctive and valuable colors within the granite family.
It belongs to the intrusive igneous rock group, formed by the slow cooling of magma deep within the earth, which results in a very dense structure, high strength, and long-term durability.

The green color of granite—caused by minerals such as serpentine, chlorite, and certain iron compounds—adds a natural, calming, and at the same time luxurious character to spaces.
This quality has made green granite popular in both classic architecture and modern design.

Beyond its visual appeal, green granite ranks among the top-performing building stones from a technical standpoint.
It’s very low-water absorption, high resistance to abrasion, pressure, impact, heat, and weather conditions make it suitable for both interior and exterior applications.
Depending on the finish, green granite can be used in high-traffic areas, landscaping, flooring, staircases, parking areas, and even luxury interior spaces.

Formation Origin of Green Granite:

Green granite is formed through a very slow crystallization process of magma.
If you are looking for countries known for this rare green stone, Iran stands out as one of the most recognized sources, famous for its unique patterns and textures.

Characteristics of Green Granite:

• Unique green color and excellent compatibility with other colors
• High durability and long lifespan (with proper maintenance)

Is Green Granite the strongest granite?

No. Green granite is not the strongest type.
The strongest granite is Jet Black Granite, a well-known black granite.

Hardness of Green Granite:

The hardness of black, green, red, yellow, brown, pink, and white granites is generally around 6–7 on the Mohs scale.

Mineral Composition of Green Granite:

Green granite is formed by the uncommon coloration of common minerals.
Feldspars are the main minerals in granite and are often responsible for green tones.

Color Harmony with Green Granite:

Since green granite is a dark-colored stone, it pairs well with cream or white tones.
For stronger contrast, it is ideal to combine green granite with neutral or light interior designs. 

Position of Green Granite Among Building Stones:

Among Iranian granites, green granite is considered a distinctive and perfect color.
Although Iran produces granite in many colors (black, white, grey), only a few regions provide high-quality green granite with acceptable color uniformity and production volume.

In this category, Birjand Green Granite and Ardestan Green Granite are the most well-known and widely used Iranian green granites, holding strong positions in both domestic and export markets.

Birjand Green Granite:

Birjand Green Granite is one of the most recognized Iranian green granites, quarried in South Khorasan Province (Birjand area).
It is also known in the market as Jangali Green Granite or Picasso Green Granite.

Its key feature is a deep, vivid green color combined with dynamic wavy patterns, dark and light veins, and a lively texture that creates a strong decorative impact.

Technically, Birjand Green Granite has high density, excellent compressive and abrasion resistance, and very low water absorption.
These properties make it ideal for high-traffic flooring, landscaping, exterior paving, staircases, feature walls, and special architectural elements.

Due to its visual similarity to some imported green granites, Birjand Green Granite has become a serious competitor to foreign materials and is increasingly used in luxury domestic and export projects.

Ardestan Green Granite:

Ardestan Green Granite, also known as Shadab Green Granite, is quarried in Isfahan Province (Ardestan area).
Compared to Birjand Green Granite, it has a lighter and more uniform green color with finer and more regular grain size, resulting in a calmer and more minimal appearance.

From a technical perspective, Ardestan Green Granite performs at a very high level, with low- water absorption, high abrasion and compressive strength, and good resistance to weather conditions.
It is widely used for outdoor paving, interior flooring, parking areas, staircases, and landscaping, with flamed or cubic finishes being especially popular for exterior applications.

Its more competitive price, combined with color uniformity, has made Ardestan Green Granite one of the most economical and best-selling green granites in Iran.
