LUNDHS Blue®
Stone type: Larvikite
Origin: Crafted by nature 300 million years ago in Larvik, Norway.
Lundhs Blue (the original Blue Pearl) is a classic material known for its blue background with lustrous blue and grey feldspar crystals. An excellent choice for both interior and exterior use.
Surface finishes
-
A high gloss polished surface is created by using diamond abrasives followed by polishing powders. This finish gives the surface brightness and a mirror-like effect that intensifies the stone colour and enhances the lustrous feldspar crystals.
-
A silk/leather finish is formed by means of metal brushes that take away the softest particles of the stone. This gives a lightly structured surface with the same gloss as a honed finish and is very smooth to touch. The finish makes the stone appear slightly lighter than a polished surface.
-
A Flamed finish is produced when an intense flame is fired at the stone, causing the surface to burst and become rough. This finish is used primarily for exteriors applications where slip-resistance is extremely important.
