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 honed surface is achieved by the use of diamond abrasives, but the polishing process stops at an earlier stage compared to the polished surface. The honed surface has a smooth, non-reflective surface - ideal when a more matte look is desired.
